Hypothes.is, a social annotation tool, is now available in GW’s Blackboard. This tool lets students collaboratively annotate course materials, encouraging deeper understanding and community building through shared insights and discussion. Link to a webpage, PDF, JSTOR article, or YouTube video. Students can highlight text, add comments, and reply to questions.
Connect Hypothes.is to the Gradebook to award credit. To add a Hypothes.is activity to your course, go to Build Content > Hypothes.is in Blackboard Original or Books and Tools in Blackboard Ultra. More details are available on getting started with Hypothes.is in Blackboard Learn.
