…and how to get students to collaborate using annotations!<\/p>\n

Since fall semester 2015\/16 hypothes.is<\/a> annotation offers the possibility of public, private and goup-private (introduced later) web annotations to the users of eSkript<\/a>, our platform for Interactive Lecture material.<\/p>\n

This is a follow up to last year’s blog post “eSkript & hypothes.is \u2013 Web annotation for our students<\/a>“. There you can read some info on web annotation and the story on how I started to get interested in these usage numbers.<\/p>\n

Web annotation is moving fast, not only at hypothes.is, who has added groups to their functionality and a wonderful dashboard, only to mention two of the many new features, but also, in February 2017, web annotation has become a W3C standard, a web standard! Wow!<\/p>\n

So what about that new usage data at ETH Z\u00fcrich?

Compared to the first year, every data point has increased. Since 2015, annotations have been made on 279 separate days on 308 eSkript URLs. (Bewegungs- und Sportbiomechanik<\/em> has 35 URLs.) 145 users were active and 17 groups have been created. (Roughly 1’000 students have been exposed to lecture material on eSkript so far.) 4505 annotations have been made!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Group annotations have gained momentum and now reach seven percent of all annotations from almost none. There are fewer public annotations (used to be 10%).<\/p>\n

The good news here are the 13% of ‘replies’. This is where collaboration begins.<\/p>\n
