For a professor, Hypothes.is operates in D2L and their Google Drive, the latter hosting any files shared with students.
...
| Prepare your Google Drive | Before going into D2L, log into your Canisius Google Drive. For most of us, clicking the Google Drive link under My Applications in MyCanisius is fastest. |
| Create an LTI Link | Next, go into your D2L course space. In any module within the Content area, click the dropdown menu carat next to Add Existing Activities, and choose External Learning Tools. Then click Create New LTI Link.
|
Create an Assignment Link | Add your own title. Add the following for the LTI URL: https://lms.hypothes.is/lti_launches Then click the blue Create and Insert button
|
| Set the Assignment Link to Open in a New Browser Tab | Click the Dropdown Menu Carat next to the new Hypothes.is reading title you just created, and choose Edit Properties In-place. Check the box next to "Open as an Exteranal Resource. Then click the module title on the left, or the Content link on the Navbar, to refresh the module within D2L.
|
| Log into your Google Drive | Click on the topic. You will be taken to a separate browser tab, and presented with the option to enter a website URL, or a PDF in your Google Drive. For now, choose Select PDF from Google Drive, since that will have you connect your Google Drive to your Hypothes.is identity. You will be presented with a screen asking you to choose the appropriate Google Drive. Click to choose your Canisius Google Drive. Because you are already signed into that Google Drive, it should be listed as an option.
Google will ask you to confirm that Hypothes.is has permission to work with files within your Google Drive. This is necessary so you can share PDF files with your students. Click the blue Allow button. |
| Choose your PDF | Following that, you should see a navigable version of your Google Drive file. You can search and browse for PDF files. Choose the appropriate file for your first assignment, or just for a test.
|
| Set up PDF | Upon choosing a PDF file, you will see it appear in a viewer, along with the Hypothes.is tools. Note that a PDF file selected from Google Drive will set that file's Google Drive sharing rule to "Anyone on the internet with this link can view."
|
| Open in Separate Tab | One last step: In the D2L Content Area, click the dropdown menu caret next to your new Hypothes.is link, and choose "Edit Properties in Place:"
Then, in the following screen, check the box next to "Open as an External Resource." This means the Hypothes.is screen with your PDF will open to you and your students in a separate browser tab. This makes it more reliable and much easier to use.
Simply click the module title on the left, or the Content link on the navbar, to reactivate the link for you. It's all set! |
| Install the student tutorial | Somewhere in the introductory material for your course, install the following video so your students can quickly learn what to expect in, and how to use Hypothes.is.
|
...
| 1 | 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. If you do, the Hypothes.is link will not work for your students. |
|
| 2 | Upload the PDF's that you are planning on using (more PDF's can be added later). You can either drag and drop them to where it says "Drag and drop files here to create and update topics" or go to New>Upload Files and follow the on-screen prompts. |
|
| 3 | Follow the steps above to create a Hypothes.is Assignment in another module, just up to creating the LTI link in your D2L course space. |
|
| 4 | Click on the Hypothes.is Assignment link. In the page that appears, click on D2L. |
|
| 5 | In the pop-up that appears, click on the module that is holding your PDF's. Then click on Select. |
|
| 6 | Click on the PDF that you want to use. Then click on Select. |
|
| 7 | The page will update and you will see the Assignment details screen. Click on Continue to see a Preview of the Hypothes.is Assignment. |
|
| 8 | Make sure that the article is the right one and that it is properly OCR'd. If it is not the right article, look at Edit a Hypothes.is Assignment below. If it is not properly OCR'd (meaning that you are having a hard time highlighting text and/or the annotation on the right is not correct), take a look at Hypothes.is's instructions at the following link: https://web.hypothes.is/help/how-to-ocr-optimize-pdfs/ |
