Body
Hypothesis is a web annotation tool that allows users to annotate web pages, PDFs, YouTube videos, and other digital documents collaboratively. It enables collaborative reading, discussion, and feedback on course materials. Students can highlight passages, add comments, and respond to each other's annotations. Instructors can provide inline feedback and create a social learning environment. Hypothesis annotations promote active engagement, deeper understanding, and critical thinking skills.
