Hypothesis: Modeling & Prompting Meaningful Annotations (partner event)

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.
