What is a Hyperdoc?

1

A hyperdoc is not a digital substitute for a worksheet packet.

3 of 30

A true HyperDoc is much more than some links on a document. Digital collaboration is choreographed through the inclusion of web tools that give every student a voice and a chance to be heard by their classmates. Critical thinking and problem solving skills can be developed through linked tasks that ask for authentic products to be created and shared digitally.

When thoughtfully created and carefully packaged a hyperdoc can:

  • Support multiple learning styles
  • Give students the opportunity to communicate and collaborate with peers
  • Transform students from consumers to creators
  • Amplify student voice
  • Personalize the learning experience by giving the student the keys to drive on their own inquiry based journey

The Hyperdoc as a Multimedia Text Set

Start with something fairly easy, academically speaking, and not too long. This is especially important if the students will be using a new tech tool. A high-interest topic is also helpful.

Try a hyperdoc lesson with your class this week!

Choose a hyperdoc that you really liked and make a copy. Go through the hyperdoc and thoroughly explore all of the links as a student would. Be aware of links for submitting work that may go to the teacher that originally created the hyperdoc, you will want to update these links before using the Hyperdoc.

​

  • Make it your own: You can make changes to the hyperdoc once you have made a copy. Adapt it to fit the needs of your class.

​

  • Get it to students: Use a short URL written on the board, assign in Google Classroom or similar LMS, or add a link to your class web page.

​

  • When introducing a new tech tool, it’s been my experience that the academic rigor should be lower. Are they learning the tool or the academics? It can be hard to do both.

Use Hyperdocs to Create an Experience

Use Google Maps: Street View Treks and Google Cultural Institute to add to the experience:

Workflow: Spend Less Time Grading Papers

If they are working together on a project, why not have them discuss their own grades, or even grade each other and submit a single form?

Gathering Data for Future Lesson Design/Modification

Grade the Teacher/Lesson

I like to include a Google form at the end of my hyperdoc lessons that allows me to get feedback from the students. This helps me to modify and/or tailor future projects to fit their needs.

Hyperdoc Creators

Lisa Highfill, Kelly Hilton, and Sarah Landis coined the term “hyperdoc”. They are bay area teachers and tech coaches that present regularly at GAFE summits, CUE conferences, and the like. They started a twitter account called @TsgiveTs (Teachers give Teachers) to create a space for teachers to share the hyperdocs that they have created-it’s like the opposite of Teachers Pay Teachers. Their website is the place to begin if you are looking to explore hyperdocs more in depth.
