    In the article you cite, it clearly states:

    If a student uses an iPad (3rd generation or later) or an iPad mini 2 or later, the PDF can be annotated and turned in all within iTunes U.

    So, no, students can't annotate the PDF from within iTunes U on an iPhone or iPod touch. The immediately following sentence notes:

    But on older devices, the student must send the PDF from iTunes U to a PDF editor. The student can annotate the PDF in the separate app, then return the PDF back to iTunes U on the device and turn it in.

    Therefore, if your students have a third-party PDF editor, they can use that to annotate your document and send it back to you.

     

    Does that help?
