Etexts as Collaborative Engagement
Channel: NWeLearn
Date: 2019-12-14

Presenter: Geoff Cain
Date: Thursday, October 17 • 9:40am - 10:40am

This presentation will look at the latest online collaborative annotation tools. These tools represent a significant advance in our ability to share and analyze electronic texts. Students can highlight, annotate, share, and discuss a text from any browser, in any document on the internet. These new affordances allow teachers and instructional designers to design new kinds of assignments that allow students to make connections between documents, one another, and new knowledge. Examples in the presentation will include recent projects using the free online "Hypothesis" software, such as the Annotating Englebart Project. The presentation will be shared live and will annotated live by participants.
