In this workshop, you will learn how to create VoiceThreads and then add them to your Canvas course as lessons, discussions, or assessments. This will be a hand-on workshop where you can follow along with the activities and add VoiceThreads into your course modules.
On Thursdays at 4pm ET, the Hypothesis team will host a quick review of a recently released Hypothesis feature. These sessions are short, 15 minute trainings designed to get you up-to-speed on a new Hypothesis feature. Ideally, attendees will already be familiar with using Hypothesis.
Asking your class to annotate the syllabus allows you to introduce students to social annotation in a low-stakes way. Even better, you’re providing them with an opportunity to engage with the syllabus, to share ideas and to ask questions about the course in a way that sets the tone for engagement throughout the term. In this workshop, the Hypothesis team will review ideas and guidance for the collaborative syllabus annotation assignment.
