Hypothesis Academy: Social Annotation 101 cohort begins (partner event)

Hypothesis is a collaborative annotation tool that enables instructors and students to have conversations in the margins of digital texts.

Hypothesis Academy: Social Annotation 101 is a two-week course designed to teach you not only how to use the Hypothesis tool, but how to design social annotation assignments to best support your students’ learning. The course runs in completely asynchronous cohorts. This cohort begins Tuesday, August 19 and runs through Tuesday, September 2.

By the end of the course, you’ll have set up a Hypothesis-enabled assignment in your course site, complete with instructions for your students and a grading plan.

If you complete all of the required components of the course, you’ll also receive recognition as a Hypothesis Certified Educator for the course Social Annotation 101. This includes a digital certificate (which can easily be shared to your social media pages or downloaded and saved to a portfolio) and recognition on our website.

Learning Goals

• Analyze and discuss the educational benefits of social annotation

• Set up a Hypothesis-enabled assignment in the appropriate LMS and grade the assignment
