To use Hypothes.is to read and annotate:
On selected pages of our website, you will be able to use the annotation tool Hypothes.is. When you’re on these pages, a screen will pop up on the right hand side. This is where our footnotes to the text will show up. You can open and close this screen by clicking on the arrow in the top right corner. Note: you can use this annotation tool without logging in to the site!
- The first time you want to annotate (i.e. highlight or comment on the text on the page) you have to create an account with Hypothes.is
- This is easy! Go to the Hypothes.is website. There, enter your email address and follow the instructions.
- Once you have your account, go back to the pop-up screen on our website and log in.
- You can now start highlighting, annotating, reading others’ annotations, and replying to them.
- By default, annotation comments are set to public, but you can set them to private if you choose by changing the setting at the bottom of the op-up window.
- You can see all of your peers’ comments by clicking on their name. This will take you to the Hypothes.is website where you will see a list of that user’s public comments.
