>Instructors and students can openly annotate readings and reply to each other’s comments, which jumpstarts discussion about the reading ahead of class time
>Hypothes.is creates an additional space for all students to share their ideas with their peers
>Instructors can see which parts of the reading generate student interest, as well as identify areas of confusion, which can help in planning class discussion
Questions and answers in annotation: Identify areas of confusion in the text that may be shared among multiple students by having them ask questions and provide answers in their annotations
Connect - summarize - question - reply: Use this annotation framework to help students deepen their understanding of a reading ahead of class
