 If you are looking to make learning more visible, active, and social with annotation you can enable Hypothesis as a tool in your assignments in Blackboard. I will go ahead and walk you through how to create a Hypothesis-enabled assessment. The first thing you want to do is once you've navigated to the course is just to confirm that Hypothesis is available in your course site. So once you're in the course you will navigate to Customization on the left hand side and then Tool Availability. Here you will see all of the external tools that are available in your school's Blackboard instance. Once you are there you'll scroll down to Hypothesis and in this case I have multiple Hypothesis installations but you should have only one. And you'll want to make sure that the last box is checked so that you have made it available in the content area. Then you will go ahead and go to Course Content so that you can create an assignment. Once I am on the content page I will select Build Content and from there I should be able to select Hypothesis. Then you will only see one Hypothesis installation when you select Build Content. Then I will go ahead and name my assignment. If you would like to enable evaluation in this particular assignment you can select Yes. And then you have the option to determine the amount of points and make this visible to students. Then I will go ahead and select Submit. I will navigate to the course assignment that I selected and then I will have the option here to either enter a URL of a web page or PDF or select a PDF from Google Drive. So this is the text that I want students to be able to view so I'm going to go ahead and pull up that assignment. I'm going to select the URL of that reading and I've copy and pasted the URL here and then I will select Submit. Now you will see that the reading assignment has appeared with the Hypothesis annotation sidebar here and this assignment is now ready for you and your students to annotate. The Hypothesis lets you and your students write annotations and view and reply to each other's annotations. When students open a Hypothesis enabled assignment such as this one, they'll see the web page of the PDF of the reading assignment along with the Hypothesis sidebar as you see here on the right.
