Have you ever wondered how to annotate online texts with your thoughts, comments, or associations? Does an image better express what you are imagining while reading a literary text? How about sharing your comments with friends, fellow students, or colleagues? How can you integrate digital text annotation in your teaching? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, please join us during IAP for HyperStudio's workshop on digital annotation tools designed for humanities students, scholars, and educators.

In this hands-on workshop you'll learn how to create, tag, link, and share annotations in web-based environments. The workshop will include:

Introduction to digital text annotation - evaluate various online text annotation tools
Hands-on sessions - work with your own text using Annotation Studio
Text annotation for teaching and scholarship - Discuss how to best apply these tools in your research and scholarship.
