    Social Annotation, Open Pedagogy, and OER

    Interested in teaching through freely available online materials and Open Educational Resources (OER)? Open pedagogical practices invite students to learn collaboratively and even to become knowledge creators in their own right, all while lowering textbook and material costs which provide barriers to learning. Using Hypothesis social annotation over free, open access, and OER materials encourages more authentic and community-driven formative assessment than publisher banks and traditional homework activities. This workshop prepares faculty to build Hypothesis assignments using publicly-available learning materials and support students in the collaborative modification of OER texts.

    Modeling and Prompting Meaningful Annotations

    Social annotation offers students a way to build community while they annotate course documents, but just because we create an annotation assignment does not mean that students automatically know how to write meaningful annotations. This session provides strategies for increasing instructor presence in annotation activities, prompting meaningful original annotations from students, and inviting students to respond to each other. You will leave with strategies that you can apply to your assignment prompts to start seeing better results from student annotations & discussions immediately.
