Hypothes.is Overview

Date: Fri, Aug 8, 2025
Time: 01:00 PM - 01:55 PM

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.

Intermediate Hypothesis: Modeling & Prompting Meaningful Annotation and Autograding

Date: Tue, Sep 2, 2025
Time: 11:00 AM - 11:55 AM

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.

Intermediate Hypothesis: Multimedia Features: Designing with UDL in Mind

Date: Thu, Sep 18, 2025
Time: 01:00 PM - 01:55 PM

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.
