“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, classmates, 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.
Annotation
An Ancient Education Technology
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)

I finally found a way to get students to read, and engage with one another about their reading, before class.

Hypothesis is my literary Facebook. When I’m reading I sometimes wonder, ‘Does anyone actually understand this? Am I crazy?’ With this brilliant tool I know I’m not alone.
