D'Agostino, S. (2022, Oct 12). With online social annotation, students read together. Inside Higher Ed.
This article reports on a new study on online social annotation (SA), including collaborative reading, thinking, and marking up of an article, webpage, or other digital text. The study offers evidence that this strategy can help students better understand and construct knowledge around scholarly content, while at the same time building community. D’Agostino also includes comments on the benefits and challenges of SA from instructors who have incorporated it into their online or hybrid courses. The original study can be found on PubMed. Hypothes.is, the SA tool used in the study, is available to use at IU.

Metacognition refers to how learners think about and monitor their own knowledge, a process which has been shown to improve students’ learning. Metacognitive skills involve assessing the demands of a task, evaluating one’s own knowledge and skills, planning an approach, monitoring one’s progress, and adjusting strategies as needed to complete the task. Participants will learn how to blend metacognitive skill instruction with content instruction by using strategies such as instructor modeling of reflection, student self-reflection, visual organizers, formative assessments, and more.
