Teaching with Social Annotation on Manifold

Registration link: https://gc-cuny-edu.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAldeiuqDspE9G17Hw5Z7POV6bRZIbTziwz

Social annotation can be a great way to “open up” a text: to make it a learning object for scrutiny, interpretation, and enrichment. Teaching with social annotation can foster opportunities for instructors and students to think, read, and learn together in and beyond the classroom. With Manifold’s annotation tool and reading groups, you can highlight, annotate, and discuss a text, and make your annotations public, private, or visible only to a group. In this workshop, we will walk you through Manifold’s social annotation features and invite you to annotate together.

• No familiarity with Manifold required
