How to Assign Hypothesis Readings to Small Groups

By default, Hypothesis reading assignments allow all students in a course to annotate together, as well as read and reply to annotations posted by all other students in the course.

If you wish to break the class up into smaller cohorts to read and annotate in separate groups there are several options available depending on your LMS and how Hypothesis has been installed.
