Hypothesis Partner Workshops
Hypothesis is a social annotation tool installed directly in your learning management system (LMS). Adding Hypothesis to readings in your course supports student success by placing active discussion right on top of readings, enabling students and teachers to add comments and start conversations in the margins of texts.
To learn more about making reading active, visible, and social using Hypothesis, please join us in one of our upcoming workshops. RSVP via one of the links below.

Learning Lab: Design a More Engaging Summer Course Learning Experience
Join us for a special summer session packed with fresh ideas, practical strategies, and inspiration to make your summer courses more interactive, engaging, and student-centered.
