Annotating with Wacom One

It’s possible to annotate using your computer, phone, or iPad, but using a digital pen display like the Wacom One (which is available through UC Berkeley upon request) is one of the most efficient ways to digitally communicate mark ups on documents because it most resembles pen and paper. If you have just received a Wacom One and are having trouble knowing where to start, follow our guide below to learn how to connect your Wacom One and how to download your driver so that it is compatible with your computer. Your computer will not recognize your device until you download and instal your driver.

If you need to request a Wacom One from UC Berkeley you can send a request here.
