Researching Annotation’s Power With Our First Scholar in Residence
Social annotation is booming in education. But how does it enable students to better comprehend course texts and produce new knowledge, particularly when learning with digital resources or entirely online? As our first major step to support these investigations, Hypothesis is excited to announce a new research collaboration with the University of Colorado Denver’s School of Education & Human Development, to be led by Dr. Remi Kalir, Assistant Professor of Learning Design & Technology. On Liquid Margins 11, guest Dr. Kalir discusses the state of social-annotation research, becoming the first Scholar in Residence at Hypothesis, and where the AnnotatED community goes next.
