Class 02

Good afternoon!

Today we’ll continue the work of orienting ourselves to the course, with a particular eye on a few digital tools: Blackboard, CUNY Academic Commons, and Hypothes.is.

Of these, Hypothes.is is the most important and (initially) the most high maintenance. So we’ll start (and, probably, end) there.

In between, I’ll walk you through the basic functions we’ll use Blackboard for. And I’ll explain how we’ll use CUNY Academic Commons, too.

In terms of content, we’ll split class evenly between two tasks: a lesson on revision with some practice just after, and a lesson on annotation with (you guessed it) practice.
