Bring your students together with social reading

Bring your students together with social reading

Engage your students in social reading, a pedagogical practice that uses collaborative annotation to make reading active, visible, and social. Hypothesis annotation enables students and teachers to have conversations in the margins of digital texts, helping build community, discussion, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of readings in classrooms, on campus, and online. Drop us a line below if you’re interested in testing out Hypothesis in your learning management system (LMS), or if you’d simply like to learn more.

Hypothesis makes reading…

If your school uses Canvas, Blackboard, D2L Brightspace, Moodle, Sakai, or Schoology, you can integrate Hypothesis right away. Hypothesis can also usually be integrated with any other learning management system (LMS) that supports IMS Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI). Full integration with Google Classroom and Microsoft environments is under development. Use the form above to reach out to see how you can use Hypothesis at your school.
