Hypothesis in Your LMS

Hypothesis in Your LMS

Hypothesis is an easy to use pedagogical tool that enables students and teachers to have conversations in the margins of digital texts. Using social annotation gives you new ways to foster student success by building community, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of readings.

Hypothesis makes reading…

Active

“I want students to learn the profits and pleasures of careful, engaged reading…Hypothesis finally delivers on the promise of digital annotation.”

Lawrence Hanley, Professor, Department of English, San Francisco State University

Visible

“Their annotations give me a window to their thoughts and understandings that I couldn’t access otherwise … I wouldn’t get this depth of interaction in a threaded discussion.”

Linda Parsons, Associate Professor, The Ohio State University

Social

“Hypothesis is my literary Facebook. When I’m reading I sometimes wonder, does anyone actually understand this? Am I crazy? With this brilliant tool I know I’m not alone.”

Shannon Griffiths, Student, Plymouth State University
