What is Hypothesis, and how do I use it?

 “Hypothesis is an easy to use pedagogical tool that enables students and teachers to have conversations in the margins of digital texts. Using social annotation gives you new ways to foster student success by building community, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of readings” (Hypothesis website). You and your students can use the Hypothesis tool in Blackboard to annotate and/or highlight the following: websites/web-based readings or .pdfs stored in Blackboard, your Google Drive, or your OneDrive.
