Using Hypothes.is Annotation Software to Engage Students in Readings and Discussions
Date: Friday, September 27th, 2024
Time: 11:00 am – 12:00 pm
Zoom: https://unewhaven.zoom.us/my/unewhaven.cte
It can be difficult to engage students in a classroom discussion on readings. Some students may feel shy about sharing their thoughts without knowing if they are correct or fear they are not knowledgeable enough on the topic being discussed. Through utilizing Hypothes.is annotation software, students can annotate a document together and can be encouraged to share their own perspective and ask questions in a setting that is designed for this kind of inquiry. Having a whole class annotate the same article also holds students accountable for completing readings and ensures they’re able to join, and get the most out of in-class discussions.
Digital Solutions to "Chalk Talk" Lectures in Math & Science
Date: Thursday, October 3rd, 2024
Time: 10:30 am – 11:30 am
Zoom: https://unewhaven.zoom.us/my/unewhaven.cte
White boards are typically too small for quantitative and derivation-based scientific writing. Additionally, use of dry erase markers is not a sustainable or affordable practice, as well as expensive compared to traditional chalk boards. We present a digital solution that combines open source software and off-the-shelf computer hardware, enabling the flexibility and space of a traditional chalk board but with the advantages of modern software, including automatic archival and recording features; the ability to use the full 16-bit color space both for maximizing visibility in classrooms with poor lighting /dm projectors, as well as adding inclusivity to students exhibiting color blindness.
