Our case concerns students’ online discussion via social #annotation. We studied 3 different undergrad courses, analyzed over 2,000 @hypothes_is annotations, identified patterns in how students constructed knowledge together, and discussed implications for instruction #EdResearch
Lots of #highered talk right now about the future of digital education, how students meaningfully collaborate, and how social reading practices—like #annotation—can help students learn online. Our study shows that asynch discussion can help students construct knowledge together.

March 9, 2020 was my last day on campus. To celebrate my one-year anniversary of working from home, here’s a list of all the articles I’ve published. A 🧵 about 📝
“Toddler not on mute: An investigation into unpredictable sonic disturbances amid online dissertation defenses”
“Imaginative archaeologies of the home office: How do I update this printer driver?”
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. remikalir.com/annotatedsylla…
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…
For #literacy educators, teacher educators & researchers participating in #ScholarStrike some curated resources from the #MarginalSyllabus project including blog posts, author webinars & annotated articles about the lives and #literacies of Black learners and educators. Thread >
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
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
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
