What is Hypothesis?

Hypothesis is a collaborative annotation tool that makes reading active, visible and social, enabling students to engage with text and each other in deeper, more meaningful ways.

✔ Markup course materials, from texts to syllabi to lecture notes to YouTube videos
✔ Make connections with text, images, links or videos
✔ Respond directly to students, building knowledge together
✔ Easily grade submissions within the SpeedGrader interface
