Podcast Event: Talking Annotation With Remi Kalir
2021-11-18 15:00 - 16:00
Hypothesis Scholar in Residence Remi Kalir in conversation with Alan Levine for an Open Education Voices podcast episode about social annotation and the current use of Hypothesis to discuss the UNESCO OER recommendation.
Web annotation is on our minds at OE Global with our initiative to use this technology to add examples, commentary, and specificity to the UNESCO Recommendation on OER. That is why we were excited to have a conversation with one of the leading scholars of annotation, Remi Kalir.
An assistant professor of Education at University of Colorado Denver, Remi was a Scholar in Residence at Hypothesis, leader of the Marginal Syllabus project, and co-author with Antero Garcia of maybe The book on the topic titled Annotation published by MIT Press in 2021.
In this episode of OEG Voices we talked with Remi about the value of annotation, how it is something we do as an every day practice, and brainstormed what it could offer us in this effort to annotate this high level UNESCO document. This conversation included Nate Angell, Director of Marketing at Hypothesis as well as Paul Stacey and Alan Levine from OE Global.

Of course we love every Liquid Margins episode and are so appreciative of the wonderful guests who have generously taken the time to join us on the show, so the selection won’t be easy or exhaustive. We hope you’ll join us for a fun look back on some of the great content that you and the rest of the social annotation community have helped to build. Do you have your own favorite moments from Liquid Margins? Let us know and we’ll try to fit them into this holiday show.

Using Hypothesis Social Annotation in Blackboard Learn
2022-01-12 12:00 - 13:00
Join us for “Using Hypothesis Social Annotation in Blackboard Learn.” With the Hypothesis social annotation app hosted in Blackboard Learn, instructors can make PDFs and web-based articles annotatable. Students can then annotate their course readings collaboratively, sharing comments, replying to each other’s comments, and learning in community. Instructors can also create annotation assignments using Hypothesis so that students submit their annotation “sets” for grading. Social annotation assignments are a great way to encourage students to more deeply engage with course content and with each other. In this webinar, presented in partnership with Blackboard Learn, attendees will learn how to make readings annotatable using the Hypothesis app, how to instruct students to submit their annotations, and how to grade those annotations in Blackboard Learn.

Liquid Margins 29: Where's Class? Meet Your Students in the Margins
2022-02-11 12:00 - 12:45
Two academic years into the “new normal,” how and where classes take place continues to fluctuate. Of course everyone is getting tired of it. But students and teachers have learned to adapt to shifting situations, and social annotation continues to be a great pedagogical constant that fosters collaboration, promotes peer-to-peer learning, and builds community no matter the class configuration and whether annotation is used in synchronous or asynchronous teaching. Join us for “Where’s Class? Meet Your Students in the Margins” as we converse with guests Carmen Johnston from Chabot College and Denise Maduli-Williams from San Diego Miramar College to learn how they are using social annotation to engage students from “all walks of classrooms.”

AnnotatED Workshop: Jenae Cohn at OLC Innovate 2022
2022-03-31 16:15 - 18:15
In collaboration with the Online Learning Consortium and AnnotatED, the community for annotation in education, Hypothesis convened a free virtual workshop on social annotation on Thursday 31 March at OLC Innovate 2022.
The workshop started with a quick orientation to collaborative annotation for social reading led by Hypothesis VP of Education, Dr. Jeremy Dean: What is it, and how are people using it to enrich online, face-to-face, and hybrid learning?
Then we shifted to a hands-on activity to explore, discuss, and augment a reading selected by our special guest educator, Dr. Jenae Cohn, Director of Academic Technology at California State University, Sacramento, focused on topics related to her OLC Innovate 2022 keynote: Imaginative, Strategic, Sustainable: A Call for an Online Learning Future Designed for Students’ Lived Experiences.
We practiced reading together to see firsthand how social annotation can build understanding, connections, and community. Our conversation was anchored in text — literally — and spread out to engage other texts, ideas, and people beyond the workshop itself.
Workshop reading, recording, & shared resourcesFor our collaborative annotation before, during, and after the workshop, Dr. Cohn selected chapter nine from her book, Skim, Dive, Surface: Teaching Digital Reading which resonates with the theme of her OLC Innovate 2022 keynote. You can read Dr. Cohn’s chapter and annotations already added to its margins, join the conversation by creating a free Hypothesis account, and reply to or post your own annotations: “Chapter 9: The Ethical Implications of Digital Reading Grappling with Digital Archiving, Readerly Privacy, and Evidence of Our Reading.”
