Hypothes.is Overview

We will discuss how collaborative annotation with Hypothesis can be used to make student reading visible, active, and social. Topics covered in this session include:

• Learning how students can look up difficult words or unknown allusions in a text and share their research as annotations.
• Pre-populating a text with questions for students to reply to in annotations or notes elucidating important points as they read.
• Have students identify formal textual elements and broader social and historical contexts at work in specific passages.
• Have students share their personal opinions on a controversial topic as discussed by an article.
