Hypothes.is
Hypothes.is is a tool that facilitates active reading, collaborative annotation and discussions around text and media. It allows students to annotate and critique news, articles and media from various sources including, JSTOR, YouTube, and pdf documents prepared by the instructor. The annotation and collaboration make students' reading and understanding visible. The focus on the learning process is particularly important in the age of generative AI. Hypothes.is can also be used in STEM classes for collaborative problem-solving.
Integrated in the RMC Canvas and the course Speedgrader, Hypothes.is can be use for learning assessment.
Hypothes.is is integrated into our Canvas learning management system. The user should sign into Canvas.rmc.edu using his/her RMC username and password. The course instructor can set up Hypothes.is exercise in course Modules and Assignments.
