Creating an Annotation Assignment with Hypothesis
Hypothesis items can be created as an assignment, where they can then be easily graded with the SpeedGrader. There are two ways to create a hypothesis item. The primary way is to implement the tool within a graded assignment, as explained below. The other method is to implement the activity directly into a module. The latter option is ungraded and can be used for purposes such as having a collaborative class activity in-person.
