Create a Module in the D2L Course Content area. This will hold all of the PDF's you plan on using for Hypothes.is. In the example, we chose to name the module "PDF's for Hypothes.is". 

Note: DO NOT hide this folder nor the PDF's or otherwise restrict (i.e., with Start Dates and/or End Dates). If you do, the Hypothes.is link will not work for your students.
