Looking to make AI-resistant discussions? Or simply want to make sure that students have read an article or YouTube video? Or want to use something a little more interesting than a Discussion board? Hypothes.is may be what we are looking for!
Hypothes.is is a Social Annotation tool that allows students and instructors to comment on a document right in the margins or on a video transcript. We can use PDFs uploaded to D2L or uploaded to Google Drive, documents directly from JSTOR, or even YouTube transcripts.
We can even have students comment in groups by creating D2L Groups and making the appropriate selection when we create the Hypothes.is Assignment.
Additionally, we can grade assignments manually or automatically grade assignments based on participation.
Check out the Hypothes.is Wiki page for more details.
