The social annotation tool Hypothes.is is integrated into Canvas. Hypothes.is allows students to take notes in the margins of digital texts, read and add on to their peers’ notes, and respond to discussion questions right on top of the document being discussed. 

The new integration allows faculty to see the student annotations in the Canvas SpeedGrader similar to how discussion posts are seen. This makes grading the work easier for faculty while maintaining the rich features found in Hypothes.is.
