Praxis Workshop 1: Social Annotation as Scholarly Practice

Hypothes.is is a social annotation software for collaboratively reading, commenting, and annotating online texts. This workshop will introduce Hypothes.is as well as key questions: How do social annotation practices enrich digital humanities scholarship? How can social annotation bridge web 2.0 communication and academic communication styles? Why is this important in the context of accessible, open, critical digital humanities pedagogy? The workshop will be capped at 20 participants.
