Hypothes.is – A Social Annotation Program
Allows collaborative, interactive commentary on a text. For example, I have assigned a primary source in the form of a pdf. The students are asked to identify one passage they find interesting and to say why, to identify one passage they find confusing and to say why, and to comment on one response of each kind by another students. I can then generate discussion questions in class – or in this case, for further online commentary. Another feature that is useful in a larger class is that students can be organized in groups of, say 3-4, for the commentary; then comment across groups. The program works on websites and Word docs as well. Finally, the program is easy to install, it is a Chrome extension, and free. Submitted by Judith DeGroat, St. Lawrence University, 13 March 2020
