Title: annotation tools

To add these components to your course in Studio:

Installing Modules:
1) Add "notes", "textannotation" and "videoannotation" to advanced_modules in Studio's Advanced Settings. Now on the unit page you can see the Advanced components.

2) In the same advanced settings. It is necessary to add the annotation backend url and the annotation consumer key.
2.1.) Type a url with the annotation external storage under “annotation_storage_url”
2.2.) Type a consumer key for the annotation external storage under “annotation_token_secret”

Using Modules:
1) When creating new unit, you can find Text and Video annotation modules under “Advanced” component
2) Make sure you have either Text or Video in one unit, but not both.
3) Annotations are only allowed on Live/Public version and not Studio.
4) The video can not be opened in the cms (only in the lms) with youtube video.

Will also need to specify an annotation_storage_url and token_secret in Advanced Settings. @danielcebrian @lduarte1991 can provide this information.
