Hypothesis
How College Students Are Reading in the Age of AI (Year in Review)
This year in review explores how social annotation is helping turn reading from an isolated task into a visible, collaborative learning process, while supporting deeper engagement and original thinking in the age of AI.
Beyond AI Detection: Designing Courses That Make Student Thinking Visible
AI detection can only tell instructors so much. This article explores a different approach: designing assignments that make student thinking visible throughout the learning process through active reading, independent thinking, and social annotation.
What is Hypothesis?
Hypothesis is a collaborative annotation tool, which is free and open to use for everyone. It allows you to annotate anywhere on the web by selecting text via a publicly viewable URL, selecting a file from your Canvas file repository, selecting a PDF from Google Drive, or selecting a PDF from OneDrive. Annotations can be created together in groups or individually, and one can reply to or share publicly or privately.
Hypothesis facilitates active reading while nurturing students to engage socially with contextual ideas and achieve a deeper understanding of readings.
