Details

In Blackboard Learn, the Hypothesis LMS app offers seamless integration for administrators and instructors. It can be installed at the institution level by administrators or on a course-by-course basis by instructors. By simply selecting Hypothesis from the "Build Content" menu, instructors can effortlessly incorporate collaborative annotation into their regular workflow. Utilizing LTI data, Hypothesis creates accounts and annotation groups for both teachers and students.

One notable feature of the Hypothesis LMS app is its integration with Blackboard's Gradebook. This integration streamlines the process of assessing student annotations. It identifies each student's contributions to a conversation on a document and empowers instructors to assign grades and provide written feedback for annotated reading assignments. With this functionality, evaluating student work becomes more convenient and efficient.
