To get started with using Hypothesis in your Canvas courses you must first submit a request to have it installed in each course.  Submit your request via email to The Support Center at support@rowan.edu from your official Rowan email account  and be sure to provide the following details in your email:  

The subject line should be: Canvas: Hypothesis Installation

Body of the email: Hello, I would like to have Hypothesis installed for the following courses (then for each course, include the following):

     - Instructor Name

     - Course Name

     - URL/Web address of the course (copy and paste the address found at the top of your
       browser window.  For example, https://rowan.instructure.com/courses/2950089) 

After you have emailed, your request will be routed to a member of the Rowan Online team.  You can track your Rowan support requests by logging into Rowan Support Portal and selecting My Incidents.

Once it has been installed, you can follow the instructions for setting up an assignment.

Please note: Rowan Online will provide follow-up information once the installation is complete and will also include information of how to get help with Hypothesis once the install is completed.

If you plan to attend a workshop, please request at least 7 days before the workshop to give time to set up your classes. You may want to mention the date of your workshop in the body of your email so they know about a deadline.

The Hypothesis Educator Forum, a social learning community designed to be a space where instructors can explore social annotation and connect with each other on how they’re implementing it across their curriculum. This is a cross-institutional community of educators coming together to share ideas, ask questions and support each other with social annotation. Note: The Hypothesis Educator Forum is a Slack environment.
