Who Can Use It?

Course administrators Administrators and tutors Tutors can add hypothes.is links to their Moodle course for students to annotate. These annotations can also be assessed with grades carrying back into the Moodle gradebook.

Students can access created hypothes.is links and leave annotations to be graded.

Ensure any webpages or PDF documents you make available for annotation by students are correctly licensed. For a brief summary of copyright considerations please see the copyright for teaching page.

Meeting the Baseline

The UCL E-Connected Learning Baseline suggests the following for  Orientation :

• 2.2 Explain participation requirements
  • Identify which activities are compulsory and optional.

  • Provide an  indicator of effort  (such as timings or page counts) for all compulsory tasks.

  • Explain how students are expected to use UCL and external e-learning tools. This PowerPoint Induction template provides a starting point. Wholly online courses might provide this information as a screen-cast video, with a voice over.

  • Link to  instructions  for any e-learning tools that students are expected to use.

 For  Student Active Participation  it is suggested that:

• 9.1 Students are encouraged and supported to work with learning resources
  Student Students should be encouraged to investigate, share or discuss through quizzes, simulations, forums, blogs, wikis, glossaries, or databases.
