Faculty: Create a Hypothes.is Activity

Authors list

What if your students could read an article, review a website or watch a video and share their notes and thoughts with each other? Wouldn’t it be great to have them comment on what they most look forward to in your course and identify things in your syllabus that need clarification? Hypothes.is and Moodle make that possible with just a few clicks!

To add a Hypothes.is link to your course:

Turn editing on and click on Add an activity or resource. Choose External tool.
