Hypothes.is: Use PDF's Uploaded to D2L
Below, you will find the steps required to use PDF's in D2L for Hypothes.is. We also have a Video Tutorial (Hypothes.is: Use PDF's Uploaded to D2L) and Transcript.
| 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 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. |
|
| 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. |
|
| 3 | 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 (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/ |
