This semester, the “Does Reading Matter?” FIG is taking a deep dive into annotation as a key strategy for helping our students become more engaged, thoughtful, and critical readers. At our first meeting, we participated in a training in using Hypothes.is annotation software. CUNY and Kingsborough are in the process of acquiring this annotation software, which will soon be available to us and our students through Blackboard, as part of a free trial program. This session gave KCC faculty an overview of how the software works in Blackboard and addressed specific questions individual instructors had about how they might use it in their courses.
