Interested in using Hypothesis, a social annotation tool integrated into Blackboard, in your course? Hypothesis allows students and instructors to highlight passages, ask questions, and respond to one another directly within course readings, fostering deeper engagement and more focused, in-depth discussion about course materials. Many instructors find that annotation activities encourage closer reading, more meaningful peer interaction, and a welcome alternative to traditional discussion boards.

Join us for one of two hands-on working sessions (or both) on Feb. 20 or Feb. 24 to learn how to set up annotation activities directly in your Blackboard course site. These practical sessions will guide participants step-by-step through creating assignments for articles, book chapters, webpages, or videos, leaving you with a ready-to-use annotation activity for your upcoming course.

Sign up for the session by using the Zoom registration links provided below:

You can read a bit more about Hypothesis in this Elm story written by Isabell C. May, PhD, who will be facilitating these sessions with Shani Fleming, PhD, MSHS, MPH, PA-C.
