| 3 | Select Hypothes.is Reading in the menu that appears. |
| ||||
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 the folder/PDF's (i.e., with Start Dates and/or End Dates). 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). Go to New>File Upload. 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. |

| 8 | Click on the assignment. Make sure that the article is the right one and that it is properly OCR'd (Optical Text Recognition). If it is not the right article, look at Edit a Hypothes.is Assignment. 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/ |

| 9 | On the left, you will have your assignment. On the right, any and all available annotations. |  | ||||
| 10 | To annotate, click and drag your cursor on some text. Then, choose Annotate. You may also simply highlight the selection. |

On the Hypothes.is Content Topic's management screen, click Add a grade item... Click the + button. |
|
Enter a name , and points value in the dialog box. This will create your gradebook item or entry. Note that in Hypothes.is, you will only be able to enter a point value out of ten-point scale. D2L will then translate that to a proportionate gradebook value. So, if the Hypothes.is assignment is worth five points in your D2L gradebook, 9/10 in Hypothes.is means 4/5 in your D2L gradebook. |
|
| This click the blue Save button at the bottom of the screen. |

Some faculty may find having to think in terms of 10 points, and it's corresponding grade in their gradebook, as unwieldy. Here are alternatives:
