Add Hypothesis as a Module Item

There are two ways in which you can add a Hypothesis activity to your course. The first being through an assignment, the next is to add it directly to the module. Adding the activity directly to the module will cause that the activity does not show up in your assignments, which means that it will not be accounted for in the gradebook.

To create a graded Hypothesis item, see how to create an annotation assignment with Hypothesis.
