Video: Webinar: Using Hypothesis Social Annotation in Blackboard Learn: 2022 January (DocDrop)

00:00:04

greetings attendees and welcome to this uh hypothesis social annotation in blackboard learn we're going to let folks file in thanks for joining us today i'm jeremy dean from hypothesis

00:00:17

joined here by colleagues from both blackboard and hypothesis well great let's uh let's go ahead and get started um i'm going to let uh daniel from blackboard um

00:00:29

speak first hi dana yeah hey daniel hey jeremy thank you so much for having me um i'm more of an expectator than a presenter today but i didn't want to take a chance to um introduce myself i'm a partner manager here at blackboard

00:00:43

i've been working closely with hypothesis for a few years now i'm very excited for today's session on social and reading annotation i think it's such an important topic

00:00:55

nowadays and some of you who have been following perhaps the blackberry news you may know that blackboard emerged very fairly recently with anthology which is another leading provider of

00:01:07

tech solutions um and now more than ever we are laser focused on enabling more meaningful and engaging experiences for students and instructors

00:01:20

now what does that mean for blackboard learn users i think it means a lot of things um but what i think is most important is that we are invested in creating partnerships with strategic

00:01:33

innovative vendors such as hypothesis to provide great tools that help us unlock those intelligent experiences so that said i'm happy that we'll all be learning more about social annotation

00:01:47

today uh from our subject matter experts and hypothesis and i don't want to take more uh out of your time so pass things over back to charity awesome thanks so much daniel um we're super

00:02:00

excited to be here today as well it's great to hear the news from blackboard world um coincides with some really exciting news on our end in terms of blackboard specific developments and the reason why we wanted to kind of have this webinar

00:02:13

at the beginning of this spring semester is because we do have some new blackboard specific development we've done i'll i'm gonna take the rabbit out of the bag immediately and just say we now have an integra integration with blackboard files we have an integration

00:02:25

with blackboard groups we also have an integration with onedrive which i know isn't a blackboard product but we actually see a lot of our blackboard users also using onedrive so those are exciting and new things to our blackboard toolset

00:02:38

i am jeremy dean from hypothesis i'm going to give a sort of broad introduction to annotation social annotation and then i'm going to kick it over to my colleague aaron barker who is one of our customer success managers and she'll be walking through the blackboard

00:02:51

specific uh stuff and and answering questions so hi aaron good to see you uh excellent so there's some zoom housekeeping i think i said this in the chat but as you're introducing

00:03:03

yourself and as you ask questions please you know choose everybody um in the drop down from the zoom chat and what does this one say uh

00:03:19

i'm not sure what this one is telling us to do but you guys probably know how to use them it's been a couple years of living in zoom so but do say to everybody so that we're all um we're all on the same page um

00:03:31

i'm a uh english professor by training and got into this edtech uh space uh sort of by accident because i fell in love with the technology of social annotation essentially and this is a quote um that

00:03:44

i read about 10 years ago when i kind of made that transition from academia that really inspired me to adopt social annotation in my classroom and then to pursue it as a career essentially online a book can be a gathering place a

00:03:57

shared space where readers record their reactions and conversations actually from the chronicle of higher ed about 10 years ago especially today especially during the epidemic but really just in terms of the evolution of digital text digital

00:04:12

learning and digital community we're reading more online and we need annotation more than ever as individuals but also our students need annotation more than ever to better comprehend when they read online when

00:04:24

they read digital text and better engage with that content and there's also these wonderful new opportunities that digital text in networked environments provide in terms of social reading and social annotation and that's what we're here to

00:04:37

talk about today i'm going to share three high-level um takeaways really from instructors and students that have used hypothesis about why we believe and why many of our our users believe and increasingly more and more

00:04:50

institutions believe that social annotation is a critical piece of a student a teacher and institutions sort of ed tech toolkit and the first is is nothing new

00:05:02

that hypothesis or annotation makes reading active as i said i was an english teacher i always told students to annotate back when i just handed out paper or had them buy you know paperback books i always wanted them to annotate um

00:05:16

because i knew as a student uh that i annotated and that helped me better comprehend and be better engaged with content and as a teacher i could see it from the students that were writing in the margins of their texts that they better understood what they were reading they were better prepared

00:05:29

for class so this is not a radical new technology i'm not telling you to go and teach on some sort of virtual learning platform i'm telling you you know you guys have readings and you can add some extra

00:05:40

functionality to it to allow students to annotate and have conversations on top of that reading so hypothesis makes reading active and then hypothesis makes reading visible and i think this is really a

00:05:53

radical new thing um when i had students annotate in an analog fashion i never knew that they annotated i didn't even know if they read i think a lot of instructors struggled

00:06:05

to sort of um you know they ask are my students doing their reading um and they have various ways to sort of test that maybe they give reading quizzes uh they stare out into the eyes of their students when they meet face to face to try to see if they've done their reading

00:06:17

or evaluate class partition class participation to see have students done the reading well social annotation with hypothesis allows you to see if the students have done their reading you can see them in there making

00:06:29

comments creating annotations and i think more than that you can see where are they confused and you can intervene uh where are they excited where are is there some particular

00:06:42

um you know point of debate in a reading where students really got into conversation about something and all of this is going to inform how you support your students individually and as a class um being able to see that they've done the reading be able to see

00:06:56

how they've done their reading will better position you to when you do have synchronous time with them jump into that point of debate and really start class conversation at a higher level because there's already been so much conversation and engagement

00:07:09

with the text you can start off you know some teachers say sort of 20 15 minutes into where you might be in class conversation because you have had students engaged with the content and with each other using this tool

00:07:21

and then finally hypothesis makes reading social i'm really an old school english professor i always wanted students to go off and get lost in the reading in a book by themselves as kind of individual experience

00:07:34

but knowledge is created socially and understanding comprehension um you know analytic analysis and interpretive skills all of that comes you know is developed in a social context and this is one of the things that students

00:07:47

really get excited about with hypothesis is that they're no longer alone when they're reading their classmates are there they can see what their classmates have said and learn from their classmates they can see other points of view

00:07:59

confusing parts of the text might be clarified by student a teacher can intervene or teach an assistant can come in and offer clarification where there's a point of confusion so you're no longer alone when you're reading you have your

00:08:12

community of of uh scholars uh helping you understand that content and helping you dig deeper into that content um and then next uh

00:08:25

that's there so now i'm going to go into sort of five or six ways my screen is frozen is it frozen for you guys got some weird um okay five ways or six ways to annotate

00:08:40

for and with students the first is just to reiterate that it's not just about annotation comprehension analysis and the reading of text it's also about developing community in your classroom and on your

00:08:52

campus this is a great way to develop community in your classroom to have students connect with each other and develop collaborative skills and we've heard this again and again from professors that yes it was great for them to better understand some difficult text but we also noticed that

00:09:06

they were working together more effectively because they were so often reading and annotating together they'd really develop that kind of collaborative collaboration skill set second way is just to start off with

00:09:21

something uh simple like have your students annotate the syllabus i was thinking this morning you know how many times i see on twitter at the beginning of every semester or middle of every semester like i some student asked me a question and it was in the syllabus well

00:09:33

if you have them annotate they're really going to get to know your syllabus and and you can clarify anything that that might be confusing in the syllabus you can highlight things in the syllabus they can ask you questions you might get some feedback about the syllabus maybe

00:09:46

everybody read a certain text the previous semester and the prerequisite for the course and you can switch things up for them and this idea of annotating the syllabus really can be for

00:09:57

any type of ancillary content that you give to students it might be a paper assignment where they can annotate it to get clarity or start to share ideas it might be your lecture notes or slide deck for a lecture that they annotate

00:10:10

and maybe you know make connections uh get clarification or make connections on those other types of materials that you might be sharing with students but really of course the tool is used most broadly for you know readings that

00:10:22

you assign and you can just turn this tool on for students to have the ability to take notes online you know when most environments when we read online we don't have the ability to take notes and i'm guessing if i took a poll here that

00:10:35

some large percentage of you would agree that taking notes while you read for a class is valuable um for your success in that class and we lose the ability to do that in at least in a direct way when we read online so

00:10:48

just turning this on and allowing your students to take notes and they can take private notes just you know private highlights and private notes with this tool just turning it on can possibly help them but we certainly find and i think

00:11:00

aaron will agree that the most effective way to use the tool i'm sorry my slides are jumping around here my computer is not as fast as my mind um uh i think aaron would agree that the most effective way to use the tool is

00:11:13

with sort of deliberate um guided directed exercises this can be teacher driven you can you know go through a text ahead of students reading it and gloss it for them to help

00:11:25

them you know find those footholds to get through a text or ask questions in the margins for them to respond to almost like a discussion forum but embedded in the text so this can be you know you can be the

00:11:37

guide for students through a text using hypothesis um but i think the the most powerful and effective way to use the tool is certainly having students annotate themselves and having conversation on top of their

00:11:50

reading using hypothesis this can be very open-ended i need to see two annotations in one reply or it can be very directed and discipline specific so when you read

00:12:01

this scientific article i want you to look for these for three of these five things that are normally appearing or should appear in a scientific article and identify them and evaluate them

00:12:13

normally when we present to schools that are partnering with us and we provide more in-depth pedagogical workshops we'll talk with a group about well what do you what do you want students to be looking for when they read what do you want them doing when

00:12:25

they read and how can we you know use hypothesis social annotation to help bring some structure to those reading practices so i think that's the end of my portion

00:12:36

of the presentation i'll just say that it's a really exciting time to get involved with hypothesis it's not too late for the spring term we're currently offering hypothesis pilots for free

00:12:50

to blackboard schools um so some of you may already be at institutions i think i saw some of you were institutions that already have hypothesis if your school doesn't already have hypothesis it's a great time to connect with us and get a pilot going at your school we only need

00:13:03

two or three teachers to to call it a pilot and like i said it is free and i don't anticipate that it will continue to be free uh in years to come so give us a try um and uh you'll be working with

00:13:15

somebody uh like lovely like aaron who's a educator by training and we'll help you and your colleagues get up and running with hypothesis and she'll give you a little preview what that looks like right now

00:13:27

so over to you erin all right give me a second to pull up my slides um also frank i hope hopefully you saw my message in the chat and we'll make sure that someone works

00:13:40

with you to see how we can get it at university of houston um in the meantime while i'm pulling up my slides here's what i want those of you who are in this session to do you actually have to do be active and do something

00:13:52

take your fingers walk yourselves over to the chat tell me a few things the first thing i want you to tell me is whether you use blackboard learn or blackboard learn ultra okay that's the

00:14:04

first thing do you use blackboard learn or blackboard learn ultra the second thing i want you to tell me is if you have used hypothesis through blackboard before okay

00:14:16

so those are two things thus far blackboard learn or blackboard learn ultra have you used hypothesis through blackboard before and for those of you who have used who say yes i have used it in blackboard

00:14:30

before i want you to tell me how you have used it in the past so have you asked students to annotate readings have you used it on the syllabus have you used hypothesis

00:14:43

to build community in your class i love you mom thank you sorry for the child interruption everyone i am thanks for annie

00:15:19

um i am waiting to see your responses in the chat so remember i want to know do you use blackboard learn or blackboard learn ultra have you used hypothesis before and if you have used it before

00:15:32

then what have you used it for and most of you it looks like you have not used it before okay shima good to know blackboard roberto i i'm not sure if you

00:15:48

type this incorrectly or as a joke but i do like the blackboard burn that's pretty funny and petruca hopefully i said your name correctly that sounds like a lot to learn all at once

00:16:05

all right so good responses thus far as we're kind of going through the next piece i want you to make sure that you add your questions to the chat and or use the raise hand feature

00:16:17

i'm not sure if you all can see the raised hand feature on the webinar if you can then and you prefer to speak your question thanks nate for showing me then feel free to use that and i am

00:16:29

going to actually have frannie or nate be my moderator for the raise hand feature um and then see if someone would like to speak i'm going to do my best to moderate the chat and speak at the same time but i know

00:16:42

that frannie and nate can also help me too here's what we're going to talk about we're going to talk about how hypothesis works so kind of the basics of it then i'm going to dive into some of the features of hypothesis with blackboard

00:16:54

learn or blackboard learn ultra and then i'm going to show you a quick demo in our hypothesis blackboard account if at any time you're like oh man that girl from the west coast i'm actually

00:17:06

from colorado but i grew up on the west coast speaks way too fast and i need her to slow down or i need her to clarify something then please make sure you add it to the chat or use the raised hand

00:17:17

feature we are all learners here so don't be hesitant to speak up so again we're going to talk about the how hypothesis works we're going to talk about some of the features of hypothesis

00:17:31

in blackboard and then i'm going to show you what it looks like in blackboard in our hypothesis in our hypothesis account or in our blackboard account excuse me

00:17:43

all right so let's talk about how hypothesis works the basics of it when you launch a hypothesis reading or a hypothesis-enabled reading from blackboard and you want to start annotating this

00:17:55

document whether you are a student or a professor all you have to do is take your mouse highlight the text you want to annotate and then go ahead and type your

00:18:07

annotation i will tell you that the vast majority of professors and students that i work with figure this out quite quickly anytime you create an annotation in your

00:18:23

course that annotation can be replied to by anyone else in the course that reply can also be replied too and you can have these threaded conversations that link back to the original text

00:18:40

after today's session this is why i gave you the link to the slide deck in the chat and some of you may have shown up a little bit later after i posted the link to the slide deck so if randy or nate you want to add that link back into the chat that'd be great

00:18:52

after today's session if you think to yourself i need some more resources where do i go to get these resources what you see on the slides right now these are live links so you can grab that annotation

00:19:05

etiquette for students and do a quick walkthrough on how to teach your students how to annotate you can grab the adding images videos and links to your annotation document or resource

00:19:16

and quickly learn how to do that as well let's talk about hypothesis in blackboard learn or blackboard learn ultra specifically okay if you're using hypothesis through blackboard learn

00:19:32

students are automatically logged in and they are automatically part of the course they do not have to create accounts they do not need a specific web extension they do not need to do anything special

00:19:44

they're just sticking within blackboard and i think that's a really nice piece of using hypothesis through blackboard additionally i want to assure you that if you're using hypothesis through blackboard

00:19:57

we are ferpa compliant and we do our best to protect student privacy we do not collect student email addresses and we do not reach out to students or market directly to students

00:20:09

additionally we are wcag accessibility compliant and so if you have students who maybe use screen readers or text to audio devices those all work with hypothesis through blackboard and i'd be happy to answer any

00:20:22

accessibility or privacy questions if you have any of those in the chat when students log in they just lo or log in excuse me let me back up when they go to blackboard and they launch the hypothesis enabled reading it just

00:20:37

automatically launches for them and they can start annotating the same goes for you the instructor oh look i clicked a live link and then it went to there we go we also integrate directly with the uh

00:20:52

gradebook in blackboard you do not have to create a separate item in the gradebook if you choose to enable evaluation when you create the assignment using hypothesis then it's created in the gradebook you

00:21:05

can grade the annotations right there and it feeds the gradebook so let's talk real quick about a few of the features using hypothesis through blackboard some of these are new and i know some of you have

00:21:19

worked with us in the past so these might be new to you we now integrate directly with blackboard group sets so if you have created group sets in your course

00:21:31

you can now assign the hypothesis enabled reading to those group sets what that means is you maybe have divided your class into groups of four or you've divided your class in half

00:21:42

or you've even divided your class into groups of one you can now assign the hypothesis enabled reading to that group set and students will only see the annotations from other members of their

00:21:55

group you only have to create one assignment and assign it specifically to the group set this i i cannot tell you how exciting this is because this is the number one

00:22:07

requested feature that i've had from instructors for the past year and a half so this is really exciting and if anyone has specific questions on using hypothesis with group set then please let me know

00:22:19

elise this is new groups cannot see annotations from other groups this was just released in the past month we also integrate directly with blackboard files so if you have added

00:22:34

pdfs to your i'm going to say this incorrectly depending on if you're in blackboard learn a blackboard learn ultra to your content collection for your course then you can just grab a pdf from that content collection

00:22:49

again this is also a new piece and a new feature that we've added also requested by many instructors some of you may notice as well that we also integrate with one drive now so if you store your pdfs on one drive then

00:23:03

you can grab those and use those with hypothesis julio the instructors by default for the course belong to all groups so they can see every group in the course

00:23:17

i think that was your question let me know if that was not yeah okay this is again why i gave you the slide deck all of these resources here uh will guide you through any of the pieces you

00:23:29

might be interested in how to add a hypothesis-enabled reading to your blackboard learn course how to use it with small groups how to grade and i will tell you right now that the student guide hypothesis in blackboard learn is

00:23:43

very useful and you can give it to your students when they first start annotating and dawn to answer your question a little further um hypothesis does integrate with canvas and with d2l

00:23:56

brightspace with canvas we integrate with group sets or small groups and we integrate with speedgrader and also canvas files karen my understanding is that students

00:24:11

in different blackboard sections can share the same file as long as they're all in the same course i'm gonna pause us a quick second or couple seconds here and see if

00:24:27

there are more questions about anything i just gave you and hopefully i said your name correctly please let me know if i did not uh so she might as long as the app is on their phone and it will open in the browser

00:24:52

the native browser on their phone it will work it's small i mean i'm old so i don't want to read anything on my phone in fact i have to read all my documents like expanded 150 or something at this point

00:25:06

but it does work all right i'm going to keep monitoring the chat and thanks to frannie and nate for also helping me i'm going to show you a quick example oh do we need our various copies ah julio you do not need the digital fingerprints

00:25:23

anymore it just works with small groups you're doing such a good job and that there hasn't been anything for me to help you with perfect all right i'm going to show you what it looks like in blackboard uh if there is

00:25:39

interest i'll show you after i show you what it looks like i'll show you how to add it to your blackboard learn course if it's already integrated into your blackboard account at the account level

00:25:50

so i'm going to go ahead and i've added an article that i wanted my students to read in my blackboard course called there's what you assign and there's what they read

00:26:02

if um any of you feel the need to take a look at this article later i think it's from inside higher ed if i remember correctly i'll have to take a look but it's an interesting article on what we assign and what our students actually read

00:26:15

i'm gonna go ahead and launch it and because i added this as a hypothesis enabled reading you all should notice that the reading shows up here in the center and on the right side the

00:26:34

hypothesis annotation bar automatically appears i don't have to do anything specific i don't have to log in it's just already there um rick you could make single person groups but

00:26:48

once you have made the group and assigned the reading it gets a little more complicated in terms of mixing up those groups later it's there's not quite a best practice for aggregating all of that

00:27:02

so for those of you who are new to hypothesis i'll do a quick overview of what you're seeing and how to annotate those of you who have had some experience with hypothesis might notice some things i've added in the annotation

00:27:14

bar and think about how you could do that in your own practice as well so because i annotated this document previous to today's session i was actually working on this last night those annotations automatically show up

00:27:29

when i launch the document so i created these annotations myself but let's say all of you maybe michael and julio and frannie had all created these annotations previously i would see all of that appear when i opened up the

00:27:42

document if i wanted to add my own annotation all i have to do is select the text i want to annotate with my cursor let go of my cursor

00:27:54

choose annotate and then the text box opens up on the right side i'm going to go ahead and type my annotation and this is not a very good annotation so don't critique me anyone

00:28:12

i'm going to actually give a tag to my annotation because i want to categorize it later i'm going to call this tag question and then i'm going to post to the course now everyone in the course can see my

00:28:24

annotation and can reply to my annotation and post that to the course it's pretty simple i would say the barrier to entry is quite low most students will pick it up

00:28:48

very quickly even if they're on their phones i have lots of students and instructors who use it on an ipad or a phone a couple other things i can do here i can make my annotation bar smaller or

00:29:02

larger depending on how big or small i want my text or bar to be additionally i can search for any specific students that have annotated

00:29:15

or i can search for tags like question and find all annotations under that tag you may notice that in the annotations i created last night in preparation for

00:29:30

today's session i have added an image in one of my annotations and an embedded video in another one of my annotations i actually think more of our students are visual learners than not

00:29:44

um and so the more we can encourage them to use visuals in their annotations the more connections they're gonna make around the text and the deeper their learning will be another way to think about this too is i

00:29:57

actually have some professors who ask students to create video annotations so they'll create a video of them responding to the text or annotating the text and put that in the annotation sidebar

00:30:10

and then other students can see each other and respond to each other's video annotations there are a lot of questions here so i'm going to stop for a second um

00:30:23

i'm not sure if it's christopher or joella so i'll say christopher and joella when you create an annotation there is a post to button and that is essentially your submit button

00:30:35

once they post you will be able to see it as the professor and then can can consider their annotation submitted um and then i would like to apologize in advance for

00:30:47

any names i mispronounced lit hopefully or elite if i wanted to create an annotation without selecting text i can do what's called a page note

00:30:59

and there's this little icon here it looks like a post-it if i select that post-it i'm going to say this is a fantastic page note

00:31:12

it creates an annotation that is not connected to any specific text and so oftentimes page notes are used as summaries of the text or questions you may have around the entire

00:31:25

text or sometimes professors use it as a place to put the instructions for annotation in addition to also putting them in the blackboard course elise open notebook

00:31:37

if i select the person icon here in the upper right and then i open notebook i'm going to get all of the annotations across the entire course

00:31:50

so that would give me all annotations across all documents in the entire course i could choose just myself and just get my own annotations and use that for notes for writing future

00:32:03

papers or research articles or whatever i might need all right um i think what i might do is there any interest you can just tell me yes in the chat this is also how i know

00:32:25

if you're awake or not um tell me yes in the chat or no in the chat yes if you would like to see how to add a hypothesis-enabled reading to your course and know if you're like hey i got it i don't want to

00:32:39

know roberto says yes patrick says yes yes yes whoa okay lots of yeses let me go back to my course here you guys are awake excellent all right so before you add a hypothesis

00:32:56

enabled reading to your course in blackboard learn it has to be installed so to get it installed you need to talk to our education team and probably to your lms admin many of you here may already have it

00:33:09

installed i'm going to show you the most um common way it's at it's installed in blackboard learn i know that we have a few schools that may be here or representative

00:33:21

representatives from schools here that have installed it slightly differently so i'll show you the most common way if yours does not follow this sequence then talk to us i'll help you figure it out okay

00:33:36

when i'm in my course i have to be in the content side go to the content side of my course then i select build content

00:33:48

and in an ideal scenario it's already installed and hypothesis shows up here on this list under build content some schools may have installed it such that it's titled something different i worked at the school recently where they

00:34:01

titled it social annotation um i worked with another school where they titled it like the name of the school and then just h but kind of scan there see if there looks if something there looks like it might be a

00:34:14

hypothesis so i'm going to choose hypothesis i'm going to give this name i because i'm an awesome instructor i'm going to put very detailed instructions

00:34:40

here so some of those instructions might look like find two connections to previous texts we've read and annotate those respond to two of your peers this is a really important piece

00:34:54

usually i have my anna my drawer on zoom and i think it's been turned off on this webinar so i'm just gonna do this with my mouse pay attention ready do not attach

00:35:07

anything where it says attachments do not attach do not attach anything hopefully everyone got that

00:35:19

don't attach i'm going to decide that yes i want to grade this i'm going to give it 10 points and then i'm going to hit submit usually it'll show up at the bottom of

00:35:33

your course here it is now is the point point where i'm going to attach my reading so i'm going to go ahead and launch it and you will see the various options of

00:35:46

types of readings i can use with hypothesis publicly available website that is one that is not behind a username password or paywall new york times doesn't work because it's

00:35:59

fine to pay well you can save it as a pdf and use it that way good question shima and i'll answer that in one second you can choose a pdf that lives in your blackboard content collection

00:36:10

you can choose a pdf from google drive or onedrive and coming soon not yet available but coming soon you can select a book from vitalsource for if you have a document that lives on

00:36:23

your computer shima you can use google drive or onedrive and then you would choose the upload option it'll upload to google drive or onedrive and then you can choose the document for now i'm going to choose a pdf from

00:36:36

blackboard because i added some pdfs last night or i thought i did okay we're gonna i failed to add i'm going to do this microbiology chapter because that seems fun

00:36:50

i'm going to choose my document hit select this is where i'm going to choose if it's a group assignment i don't have any group sets created already so i'm not going to choose group assignment and then i'll hit continue

00:37:08

and there it is it's ready for your students and it's ready for you to go i'm gonna go back and stop again and see if there are any questions and i look at shima's question

00:37:24

um amar had asked if uh installation with hypothesis in blackboard costs money for the school and so i answered that in the chat we just iterate yeah that hypothesis

00:37:36

sustains itself by uh having institutions pay for uh hypothesis used when it's integrated with blackboard and other lms's that's how we provide

00:37:48

support and pay people great people like aaron to do their work did you see shima's question or did you already address oh yeah uh and then there was a hand raise did you see that one nate

00:38:03

uh i did not yes i do see a hand raised that's uh k adkins okay do you want to um the hand disappeared okay did you want to say something

00:38:25

okay um and then frank i um just in the interest of time frank i'm not gonna go over it again today but there is that article within the slide

00:38:38

deck that walks you through how to do all of that too so thanks for noting that i appreciate it too and then jessica uh yes you can use the same reading across courses and students

00:38:49

will only see annotations from other students within that their own course or group or a small group if you've used it with small groups so i know that was a lot of information

00:39:09

oh skye said 10 points uh where for faculty to grade oh okay i'm gonna actually back up just a bit because skye asked about this specific one

00:39:22

so skye said where do you grade and then will it be in the blackboard grade center yep so if i'm a professor for the course at the top of the documents there's going to be a grading

00:39:42

bar now there are no students in this course so there's no one to grade but if there were students i could select one of the students from the drop-down menu just their annotations would come up and i could enter their grade in this

00:39:55

box here in the upper right that would then feed the blackboard grade center you don't have to create a separate item in the gradebook it's already there elise you and me both

00:40:21

and rick i i don't know if i quite understand what you're trying to say hypothesis annotated frankenstein hypothesis annotated secondary source

00:40:33

um i can see what you're saying um so the difficulty is we have you you have to link to another assignment within blackboard and you could in

00:40:50

theory put the link to that assignment within the annotations for one of the documents as long as the student was logged into blackboard i think we can talk further

00:41:02

about that that's a bit of a nuanced one so should you use hypothesis in your courses which you're all going to do then you get to join over 400 hypothesis partners across the world

00:41:20

we actually i think we have some partners in armenia now in ireland south africa um and in all of the different states if you can read all of these logos then your eyesight is significantly better

00:41:33

than mine and more power to you as you're walking through using hypothesis or thinking about using hypothesis or installing hypothesis in blackboard please reach out to our support team

00:41:46

i think that i speak for an entire company when i say they are fantastic and we're incredibly proud of our support team so feel free to reach out they will get back to you quickly i sometimes feel like they work

00:42:00

24 hours a day they don't really but it sometimes seems like it they will even hop on a zoom call with you to screen share and make sure everything is fixed or corrected or works as intended

00:42:15

if you are one of our partners you get access to our success team calendars and you can work with us one-on-one as needed we also offer webinars or workshops specific to schools we do content specific workshops or discipline

00:42:28

specific workshops we also have a variety of advanced workshops on things like using images and videos in annotations and then we have a regular show called liquid margins on using social

00:42:41

annotation across disciplines or across contexts if you take a look at the slide deck there are here are some of the recent shows that we have done feel free to check some of these out for

00:42:54

inspiration or ideas on using social annotation in your own courses and if you don't have hypothesis at your school then feel free to reach out to our education team education hypothesis dot is

00:43:08

if you do have hypothesis at your school you can reach out to our success team success hypothesis.is and i'm going to stick around for questions and nate if you have anything you want to add or frannie or daniel um

00:43:20

we will stick around you've done such a good job on addressing people's questions uh right as they come up aaron that i'm not sure that that anything lingers

00:43:35

[Music] i agree aaron you're pretty amazing i've never seen you in action before that's amazing well thanks martha's is asking about adding extra

00:43:48

extra credits so martha i think um and actually this might be a question daniel might be able to help with is once it's in the grade book

00:44:00

you can likely then categorize it correctly so you could categorize it as under like say extra credit or under participation or whatever that looks like in your own

00:44:14

grade book that is my guess um daniel if i miss speaking then let me know and i think i think you're right erin um

00:44:26

that's my guess too i i'm not entirely certain but i i think that's how it goes today so you would create it first and then categorize it in the gradebook later

00:44:40

that's i i think and so roberto i just want to say this i was actually a spanish undergrad and i tell this story a lot that spanish is my second language and um had i had something like

00:45:05

hypothesis i mean this was decades ago so we didn't have like blackboard then but had i had something like hypothesis i would have been a much better student uh because i was you know i had to read

00:45:17

all these novels in spanish this is my second language and i felt so lost all of the time um and then to be in classes with these native speakers i didn't want to come to class and then say i'm so lost i don't

00:45:30

understand and so i just sat in the corner and listened to them speak during discussions and had a really hard time getting involved um sandra has a

00:45:48

question um but i'm not sure and maybe sandra you can clarify you're asking about links um just want to provide you with what you need she's asking about how to get

00:46:03

information or links which links would you like sandra and we can unmute you too if you'd like one thing sandra is you know the many almost anything in red in the slides is a link as our own show by clicking on

00:46:29

something um and so if you grab the uh if you grab the slides there at that if you can follow that link even on your phone um uh or we could email it to you later you will actually actually you will get an

00:46:41

email with when the automatically when the recording uh of this is completed and it will also include a link to the slide so sandra you don't even have to worry it will come to your email inbox

00:46:56

sorry took me a minute to remember that we're going to do that of course we will or suppose actually there is some really exciting use now in mexico uh and we're hoping to have a liquid margins episode uh roberto this might be

00:47:16

of interest to you um all in spanish um with some of the educators down there who are doing really interesting things so stay tuned for information about that and if anyone wants to make sure that they're

00:47:27

um they get information about like future liquid margins episodes um you can subscribe to get emails from hypothesis because i know everybody wants more email right you can't have too much email

00:47:40

i'll put a link in actually it's at the bottom of every web page we have but you can also um subscribe from our directly from our contact us page there's a link to that julio i would say

00:47:53

absolutely yes um so julio asked if we can provide the presentation to other instructors i would say yes really i really want to uh thank you aaron for uh i really i learned a lot

00:48:04

actually during this first of all i learned what a great presenter you are oh my gosh you're so good thanks i do it all day practice makes perfect right

00:48:17

and also thanks to daniel for blackboard's collaboration and getting this set up we really appreciate that did you want to say anything and farewell daniel we're not letting you talk oh nothing in particular with me just wanted to thank you again for for

00:48:30

inviting me aaron such a great presenter saying to goes to jeremy um i appreciate everyone um and such great questions i saw as well like on the ins and outs of the app if there's anything else that i can help

00:48:43

with in terms of how the functionality looks like on blackboard i'm happy to get those questions as well and um get get answers for those and you get them addressed internally with our team as well so

00:48:56

i think that's that's about it on my end thank you so much daniel really appreciate it
