Love note from @palen! “I LOVE HYOTHESIS and, more importantly, so do my students. I have used shared annotation software in the past, but Hypothesis is the best designed one by far. It is fluid and easy to use. And it integrates with Canvas SO WELL.”

AI literacy is not only about learning how to use a tool.
It is also knowing when to question an answer, verify a claim, recognize what is missing, and bring your own judgment back into the process.
That is the skill worth designing for.
#HigherEd #AILiteracy #CriticalThinking
The strongest response to generic answers is specific thinking.
When students identify evidence and explain their interpretation, their work reflects the learning behind it.
AI may change the tools. It should not remove the thinking.
#HigherEd #AILiteracy
Getting to an answer faster is not the same as understanding it better.
Can students explain the reasoning, identify the evidence, and recognize what an answer overlooks?
The goal is not simply producing an answer. It is making it their own.
#HigherEd #AILiteracy
Reading is often treated as preparation for participation.
But when students can question, interpret, and respond inside the material, reading becomes participation.
The conversation begins before class does.
#HigherEd #StudentEngagement #SocialAnnotation
Student engagement is not about generating more comments.
It happens when a student questions an assumption, considers another perspective, or changes their mind.
The goal is not more activity. It is more meaningful thinking.
#HigherEd #StudentEngagement
Class participation should not belong only to the fastest speaker in the room.
Students also participate when they question a passage, respond to a peer, or revise an interpretation.
Engagement needs more than one doorway.
#HigherEd #StudentEngagement #ActiveLearning
When polished answers are easier to produce, the learning process matters more.
The questions students ask, the evidence they choose, and the connections they make reveal what a final answer cannot.
How are you making thinking visible?

One week until Annotate This #5!
Hypothesis can do more than annotate text: YouTube videos, images, paced readings and auto-grading.
See it all live next Wednesday, Oct. 21 at 1PM ET.

If AI can produce the finished assignment, what should we assess?
MIT's report asks higher education to rethink grading and look for broader evidence of learning.
Our latest blog explores why the learning process matters.

ALT College student annotating an academic reading as part of a visible learning and assessment process in the age of AI.
Community in an asynchronous course does not happen automatically.
It grows when students can see one another's questions, respond to ideas in context, and recognize that learning is shared.
Online learning should be flexible without feeling solitary.

An AI policy is not the same as AI literacy.
A policy can define what students may do. It cannot teach them to question an output, verify a claim, or recognize bias.
Responsible AI use requires practice, not just rules.

Class participation should not begin and end with the live class.
Students can contribute while reading by asking questions, interpreting evidence, and responding to peers.
Participation becomes more meaningful when it is woven through the learning process.

#HigherEd #AILiteracy #SocialAnnotation #FacultyDevelopment #TeachingAndLearning
AI literacy begins with source literacy.
Students cannot evaluate an AI answer without knowing how to examine evidence, identify context, and question a claim.
Before we teach students to prompt better, we must teach them to read more critically.
#HigherEd #AILiteracy
Discussion should not require students to leave the text behind.
Social annotation brings reading and discussion together, helping students question, interpret, and respond in context.

Polished answers can appear in seconds. The thinking behind them matters more than ever.
Students still need to question sources, test interpretations, and explain their reasoning.
Assessment should reveal more than the answer. It should reveal the process.
