Asking your class to annotate the syllabus allows you to introduce students to social annotation in a low-stakes way. Even better, you're providing them with an opportunity to engage with the syllabus, share ideas, and ask questions about the course in a way that sets the tone for engagement throughout the term. In this workshop, the Hypothesis team will review ideas and guidance for the collaborative syllabus annotation assignment.

This workshop is ideal for instructors who are interested in using social annotation in their courses but aren't exactly sure how to guide students. The Hypothesis team will review ideas for annotation starter assignments and provide you with ready-to-use instructions for a variety of disciplines and modalities. It doesn't matter if you're teaching humanities, business, STEM, or the health professions, or if you're teaching face-to-face or online — you'll get strategies from this workshop that you can add immediately to an assignment in your course.

The Hypothesis team will review the technical details of how to use Hypothesis in Blackboard. We will demonstrate how to set up a hypothesis-enabled reading that can be used with course files and other media types. We'll also briefly review grading and using small-group annotation. Participants will gain a clear understanding of how to start setting up social annotation assignments on their course site.
