Educators planning for the new semester: Annotate the syllabus.

Whether K-12 or higher ed.

Whatever your discipline and course format.

Because students should read the syllabus & then discuss it.

Create an #AnnotatedSyllabus

All resources: remikalir.com/annotatedsylla…

Thread >

An #AnnotatedSyllabus is a simple strategy: Simple conceptually, for it is easy to understand; simple pedagogically, for it is easy to implement and facilitate; and simple technologically, just share your syllabus as a Gdoc that allows for commentary.

Creating an #AnnotatedSyllabus conveys a message–from day one–that course documents are not static artifacts, that something authored by an instructor is not unwelcoming of feedback and that student voice is appreciated and necessary for a shared endeavor. remikalir.com/annotatedsylla…

What's the #MarginalSyllabus? Since 2016, this project has convened and sustained convos with educators about equity in education through open & collaborative web annotation. You can learn more about the Marginal Syllabus, previous syllabi & research at marginalsyllab.us /2

And what's "marginal" about the #MarginalSyllabus? We partner with authors whose writing is contrary to dominant education norms, we read & annotate in the margins of online texts, and we discuss educational equity using open-source tech that's marginal to commercial edtech /3

It's that time of the year & we're talking syllabi: How to create or tweak, how to co-design with students, whether or not they're a contract, what purposes they serve & whose voices are included and excluded. Here's a THREAD about ANNOTATING your syllabus with your students 1/10

@hypothes_is

A bit of context: In 2016, I started using @hypothes_is open web annotation in my courses. Students read texts together, sometimes publicly though often privately, and use H for collaborative discussion & to deepen convo around topics & ideas based upon interests & questions 2/10

@hypothes_is

In addition to collaboratively annotating texts for discussion throughout the semester, my students and I also use @hypothes_is to annotate our syllabus together. And we do so during the very first week of class. This activity serves a number of very important functions. 3/10
