Social Annotation for Digital Reading in the Age of AI

Facilitator: Brian Malone, Customer Success Specialist, Hypothesis

How do digital environments and generative AI shape student reading? This workshop explores how social annotation with Hypothesis supports active, critical, and mindful reading in the digital age. Participants will examine research on digital reading, learn how annotation can reduce distractions and deepen comprehension, and explore ways to foster authentic engagement with or without AI tools. The session includes ideas for using Hypothesis to collaboratively annotate AI output and a demo of setting up readings in your LMS. Participants will leave with practical strategies and ready-to-use assignments to enhance digital reading and interaction.
