Through a collapsible applet that loads in the right-side pane of the PDF or web page, students can create highlights and annotations tied to particular moments or features of the text, respond to their colleaguesвЂ™ annotations, and create and search through tags. Digital tools for social annotation, such as Hypothes.is, present unique ways to sharpen and deepen such practices by transforming the text undergoing analysis into a shared space of exploration and by elongating the duration of annotation exercises through asynchronous opportunities for engagement.ДЄn open-source social annotation tool, Hypothes.is enables students to engage in collaborative exercises in reading and interpretation down to the level of individual sentences and words on PDFs, web pages, and other web-based materials.

Whether oriented toward a goal of comprehension, translation, formal or historical analysis, or revision, these communal acts of reading closely together often represent the cornerstone of pedagogies of interpretation and analysis вЂ“ and, additionally, are frequently remembered with fondness by instructors and students alike as moments of keen insight and illumination. Social annotation, the process of highlighting, marking up, and zooming in on the component parts of a text in the company of classmates and colleagues, forms an integral part of many instructorsвЂ™ pedagogical practice in the humanities or social sciences classroom. In this brief blog post, we will revisit some of the many insights these faculty members shared and consider the broader pedagogical impact of social annotation, in the context of both remote/hybrid teaching and face-to-face instruction.Д«ackground: On Social Annotation and Hypothes.is These three faculty members вЂ“ Miller Prosser (Associate Director, Digital Studies Program, Humanities Division), HervГ© Reculeau (Associate Professor, Near Eastern Languages and Civilization, the Oriental Institute, and the College), and Jennifer Spruill (Senior Lecturer, Social Sciences Collegiate Division and co-Chair, вЂњPower, Identity, ResistanceвЂќ Core Sequence) вЂ“ brought together a diversity of teaching fields, disciplinary methods, and pedagogical contexts across their remarks.
