  (WEBINAR) Engaging Students Through Annotations – April 21, 2021 With educational technologies, the age old use of annotations takes on new dimensions. More specifically, the Collaborative Learning Annotation System (CLAS) allows students to comment directly on PDFs, reply to other comments and organize their observations, leading them to engage with textual materials in a more meaningful way. The Collaborate Ultra whiteboard provides a space for students to annotate documents in real time, allowing them to build on each other's knowledge to make new connections, together.

Participants will leave the session with new ideas on how social annotation can benefit their classes. Read more...
