Introduction
Social annotation is a process of collaboratively marking up texts in a digital learning space to read and think about a text together. Metropolitan State University of Denver uses the Hypothes.is tool for social annotation, which enables a group of readers to use one master document to take notes, highlight areas of interest, pose and respond to questions, post relevant supplemental material and hold conversations in the margins of a text.
(Thanks to Bridget Arend for the information and wording for this page.)
