Have questions about implementing Hypothesis? Want to collaborate and learn from other instructors using Hypothesis at their institutions? Pop in to Office Hours with our success team to ask questions and engage with peers about social annotation with Hypothesis.

This training session is designed for instructors who are already using Pressbooks and want to take full advantage of Pressbooks Results, a feature that sends student scores from interactive H5P activities directly to your LMS gradebook.

This session will focus on how to activate and use Pressbooks Results within Canvas so you can streamline grading, motivate learners, and improve learning outcomes.

Attendees will learn how to:

• Configure Pressbooks chapters that contain H5P activities for grading
• Connect Pressbooks content to your LMS
• View student performance in your LMS gradebook and the Pressbooks Results Viewer

These trainings are ideal for anyone preparing to use Pressbooks content in their LMS and looking to seamlessly integrate interactive assessments.

Prerequisites: Some familiarity with automatically graded H5P activities is recommended. If you’re new to H5P, we recommend our ‘Create Engaging Learning Materials with Pressbooks’ webinar instead.

In this session, Dr. Raelynne Hale from Kansas State University will examine ways that VoiceThread can serve as an AI-resistant tool for online courses. From low-stakes activities to audio-visual summative assessments, VoiceThread offers a platform that can humanize the online classroom and promote student learning and growth. In this session, participants will see example activities and assessments that they will be able to adapt and use in their own courses.

Have questions about implementing Hypothesis? Want to collaborate and learn from other instructors using Hypothesis at their institutions? Pop in to Office Hours with our success team to ask questions and engage with peers about social annotation with Hypothesis.

Social annotation offers students a way to build community while they annotate course documents, but just because we create an annotation assignment does not mean that students automatically know how to write meaningful annotations. This session provides strategies for increasing instructor presence in annotation activities, prompting meaningful original annotations from students, and inviting students to respond to each other. You will leave with strategies that you can apply to your assignment prompts to start seeing better results from student annotations & discussions immediately.

We will also discuss how auto-grading can be used for courses large and small.

Using multiple means of representation (text, images, and video) is a key principle of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and can help students better comprehend and retain essential course concepts. The Hypothesis team will discuss multimodal learning as a core principle of UDL, and how using YouTube video annotation alongside text annotation with scholarly sources like JSTOR can help incorporate multimodal learning in your course. They’ll demonstrate how to set up YouTube video & JSTOR annotation assignments with Hypothesis and review how to add multimedia to annotations.
