Description:
Join us for an interactive session exploring how Hypothesis, a collaborative web annotation tool, can enrich student engagement and deepen learning. We’ll begin with a hands-on activity that introduces Hypothesis from the student perspective, followed by a live demonstration of its core features and integration with platforms like Canvas. You'll hear real-world examples from instructors at Virginia Tech who have successfully used Hypothesis to foster active reading, support inclusive participation, encourage peer-to-peer interaction, and build stronger connections between students and course content. Along the way, we’ll share practical tips, creative use cases, and strategies for using Hypothesis to create more engaging and reflective learning environments. Whether you're just getting started or looking to expand your use of Hypothesis, this session will offer ideas you can take back to your own teaching.
