Join us for a special summer session packed with fresh ideas, practical strategies, and inspiration to make your summer courses more interactive, engaging, and student-centered. Whether you’re teaching online or in person, summer courses come with unique challenges: shorter timelines, fast-paced content, and limited opportunities for connection. In this session, we’ll show how social annotation can help students stay engaged, keep up with the material, and collaborate meaningfully—even in the most accelerated summer formats.
