An Age-Old Learning Practice
We have all seized the white perimeter as our own
and reached for a pen if only to show
we did not just laze in an armchair turning pages;
we pressed a thought into the wayside,
planted an impression along the verge.
– Billy Collins, “Marginalia”
Online, a book can be a gathering place, a shared space where readers record their reactions and conversations. Those interactions ultimately become part of the book too, a kind of amplified marginalia.
– Jennifer Howard, “With 'Social Reading,' Books Become Places to Meet” (2012)

The Hypothes.is Project
Mission
Build, deploy and nurture an open, interoperable annotation layer over the Web, enabling a conversation over all knowledge.
Do it for the benefit of citizens as a non-profit with a sustainable income model.
Funders
“Annotating All Knowledge” Vision
Within three years, most scholarly works -- books, articles and other digital media, new and old -- will come with the capability for readers to create, share, and discover annotations from colleagues, authors, friends and experts around the globe.
This technology will be open source, federated, and based on open standards.
Just like the Web.
Coalition
Members
Over 70 of the leading academic publishers, platforms and libraries are bringing web annotation to the world’s scholarship over the next 3 years.

Education at Hypothes.is
Education Mission
To empower young people as active learners and engaged citizens through the use of web annotation technology in the classroom and beyond.
Do so by prioritizing interoperability and portability so that students retain ownership of the knowledge they create.
Highlights from our 2015-16 education pilot:
Exemplary classroom projects
Professor’s anthology published on PressBooks, annotated by undergrads at Plymouth State
I like to think of Hypothesis as a literary Facebook, as my classmates and I not only comment our own thoughts but also reply to each others. Far too often when I am reading a challenging text for class I can’t stop dwelling on these questions: ‘Does anyone actually understand this? Am I crazy for thinking this means ___?’ This brilliant tool lets me know that I’m not alone in feeling this way when I can see my classmates commenting in a similar fashion. It’s quite comforting.
– Shannon Griffiths, undergrad at Plymouth State University

My students learned about public reading and response to a text in a way they could not have otherwise. It's one thing to read reviews and citations of a work, but quite another to read how someone else is reading/thinking about a text in real-time. Online annotation helps facilitate that public reading.
– Casey Boyle, Professor of Rhetoric, UT Austin
EdX students annotating Wikipedia as part of an Electronic Literature course
Students in an edX course annotating a PDF collaboratively
The PDF-annotating feature of @hypothes_is is pretty mind-blowing. One PDF, no matter where it's saved, with everyone's annotations.
– Mark Sample, Professor of English, Davidson College
Hypothesis is a perfect learning tool for going beyond the classroom...Links to videos or other websites can be included for supplementary material. Overall, hypothesis broadens the idea of close-reading a passage and makes it more interesting and interactive
– College student at San Francisco State
Primary source historical documents annotated in online college course
