Hypothesis for Higher Education

Hypothesis transforms traditional learning by letting students and teachers highlight and discuss course materials together. Through online annotations, Hypothesis builds stronger reading skills, fosters critical thinking, and creates a more engaged classroom community, no matter where learning happens.

 

Make learning more active, visible, and social.

Social annotation enhances every course by adding a new, engaging dimension to learning. With Hypothesis, educators and students work together to improve reading proficiency and critical thinking skills.

Social Annotation for Enhanced Learning

With Hypothesis, social annotation is integrated directly into existing course content, enabling students to:

  • Develop foundational and advanced skills in reading, writing, and critical thinking.
  • Build connections that support the community both within the class and across the campus.
  • Encourage peer-to-peer learning and strengthen digital collaboration skills.
  • Provide instructors with ongoing insights into student engagement and comprehension.
