Collaboration via Hypothesis

Creating a Group on Hypothesis | Annotating with Hypothesis

Hypothesis is “a conversation layer over the entire web that works everywhere, without needing implementation by any underlying site.” Integrating Hypothesis with an AudiAnnotate project allows for a layer of commentary on top of AudiAnnotate annotations from multiple contributors. When annotating with Hypothesis, you can annotate in a group or individually, privately or publicly.
