Hypothesis and UT Austin Hypothesis is a social annotation tool that is already available in Canvas. Using Hypothesis enables students and instructors to annotate assigned readings collaboratively, adding in multimedia and links as they work through the text. Social annotation not only motivates students to read, it fosters critical thinking and facilitates knowledge sharing. Wednesday, January 4 at 2pm - Introduction to Hypothesis for social annotation Thursday January 12th at 10am - Multimedia, Tags and Creative Ways to Use Social Annotation for Engagement and Inclusion If you can't make it but want to learn more, please email Ashley Hood or set up a quick meeting. We can collaborate on social annotation for your course, or learn how to set up an assignment for your students to annotate the syllabus.	ONLINE workshops Intro to Hypothesis Wed Jan 4 at 2pm Use Social Annotation for Engagement and Inclusion Thu Jan 12 at 10am
Activating annotation with Hypothesis The Hypothesis team will share how teachers are using annotation-powered reading to help students develop foundational academic skills like deep reading and persuasive writing. In addition to sharing pedagogical best practices for social annotation, we will demonstrate how Hypothesis is used with course readings in Canvas. Participants will gain a clear understanding of how to start incorporating social annotation into their courses to improve student outcomes. These sessions are great introductions to using Hypothesis and social annotation in your courses. (30 minutes)	Tues March 21 at 12pm
Using multimedia & tags in annotations Whether you’re having students reply to your syllabus with funny GIFs or asking them to create videos in response to a current-events article, Hypothesis provides a text editor that allows you and your students to embed links, images and videos in annotations. Images and video can help bring course materials to life. Tags are a great way to categorize or organize your students’ thinking while annotating. Participate in this short workshop that walks you through how to increase engagement by adding multimedia and tags in annotations. (30 minutes)	Tues Jan 31 at 12pm Tues March 7 at 12pm Tues April 11 at 12pm
Using Hypothesis with small groups When teaching a large class, it can be challenging to engage every student and ensure that no one feels invisible. Using Hypothesis for social annotation in small groups can help you make more meaningful and collaborative connections with your students. One of our most frequent requests is for the ability to segment large classes. This workshop focuses on the options for using Hypothesis in small groups, and it will cover how social annotation can be used to create a more collaborative learning environment, even in the biggest of courses. (30 minutes)	Tues February 21 at 12pm Tues April 4 at 12pm
Creative ways to use social annotation in your courses In this workshop, our team will lead participants through various discussion protocols and active-learning strategies that can help make social annotation even more engaging and fun.

All-levels First Friday workshops

On the first Friday of each month, Hypothesis will feature workshops on special topics. These workshops are largely based on pedagogy and do not review how to use Hypothesis in Canvas. They are helpful for both new Hypothesis users who aren’t sure how to incorporate social annotation into their courses and experienced users looking for new ideas.

Schedule of vendor-led workshops from Hypothes.is with descriptions and registration links
Description	Date/Registration Link
January 2023 First Friday: Annotation starter assignments This workshop is ideal for instructors who are interested in using social annotation in their courses but aren’t exactly sure how to provide guidance to students. The Hypothesis team will review ideas for annotation starter assignments and provide you with ready-to-use instructions for a variety of disciplines and modalities. It doesn’t matter if you’re teaching humanities, business, STEM, or the health professions, or if you’re teaching face-to-face or online — you’ll get strategies from this workshop that you can add immediately to an assignment in your course.	Fri Jan 6 at 12pm
February 2023 First Friday: Grading and feedback for social annotation While there are multiple options for grading in Hypothesis, the importance of incentivizing participation cannot be overstated. To help spark interest in annotation, instructors need to provide clear guidelines that reward high-quality contributions. In this workshop, the Hypothesis team will present foundational components in creating either an analytic or holistic rubric for annotation, as well as establishing a framework for effective feedback. Social annotation lends the ideal format for assessing and promoting continuous learning, so join this session to gather ideas and tools to take your grading and feedback practices to the next level.	Fri Feb 3 at 12pm
March 2023 First Friday: Social annotation for STEM subjects How does social annotation help build community and foster student success in STEM courses? Annotation can assist students in identifying patterns and relationships, analyzing the validity of arguments and/or solutions, and locating and contextualizing important information in problems. Additionally, it can give instructors an opportunity to guide students through texts or course materials asynchronously. In this workshop, the Hypothesis team will review examples of social annotation in STEM courses and provide ready-to-use assignments to get started.	Fri March 3 at 12pm
April 2023 First Friday: Social annotation research roundup In this workshop, the Hypothesis team will review some of the latest scholarship on social annotation and how it contributes to student learning. We will read and annotate articles together using Hypothesis. Join this interactive conversation to learn more about the evidence supporting the efficacy of social annotation. After reviewing and discussing the research, the Hypothesis team will present practical applications for your courses based on the research findings. Think of this as an opportunity to discuss the affordances of social annotation with a professional learning community and to brainstorm how to translate those findings into reality.	Fri April 7 at 12pm
