Collaborative reading and annotation tool:Hypothesis
Updated onArticleWhether one is reading for pleasure or education, the act of physically highlighting a book or article can be a valuable part of the reading and learning experience: These marginalia can help the reader to process the information, reflect on it, and provide a glossed version of the text for streamlined later reference. As the world has marched toward digital realms, however, more reading is taking place on a screen instead of paper. This digital shift can be readily seen in the college classroom, where more and more college course readings are in digital format and students are no longer able to physically write on their course texts. Reading solely on a screen with no way to annotate the text provides a very different (and, some would argue, inferior) learning experience than being able to mark up and interact with the text.

Zoom in-meeting polls do not assign points for right or wrong answers. While you can download a .csv report that indicates individual students' responses to items, the report will not indicate whether a student's response was 'correct'.
