 I wanted to figure out a way to have students engaging really deeply with the content and so I was familiar with hypothesis. I had heard about it in a digital pedagogy workshop years ago like in grad school, and I was kind of digging through my toolbox trying to figure out a way to have those deep conversations while using an asynchronous format and that is I ended up using it that first fall semester and then was able to work with our instructional design folks to get it integrated in canvas for the next semester and then continued using it even when we move back to in person classes. Because I really did value the level of conversation and students also indicated that they liked being able to annotate on the text being able to think before they spoke so to speak, and came to class more prepared so even though the modalities are completely different and I use it in different ways, I found that the annotations were still improving the level of reading and conversation that the students have, no matter what way we're meeting that week.
