[Xmca-l] Re: Live Web Annotation: The Learning Sciences in a New Era of U.S. Nationalism

[Thomas M. Philip]

Thanks, Greg, for the background!

The web annotation tool allows more open access for people to
simultaneously interact with the same text (rather than communities
discussing the text in their respective listserve or blog).

To see the annotations and participate, you first need to go to
https://hypothes.is/

After you create an account, you can participate in the annotation by going
to:

https://via.hypothes.is/http://cognitionandinstruction.com/engagements-the-learning-sciences-in-a-new-era-of-u-s-nationalism/

On this version of the manuscript, you will see highlighted sections. If
you click on a highlighted section, you can see the accompanying
annotations. Additionally, you can highlight new sections and add your own
annotations.

Hope this helps. Looking forward to continuing the dialogue with all of you
through this new medium.

--Thomas
