Big and happy “Good on Ya” to John Stewart for creating the Hypothes.is Collector

If you are interested in using this in your classroom, then read his blog post and follow the clear directions there.

Below is one use I have already found for it–gathering together all of the annotations in Hypothes.is that have been tagged with “clmooc”

No Description

Here is another use–find all the annotations by a particular user. In this case we are viewing Susan Watson’s notes on a fantastic website, Venkatesh Rao’s Ribbonfarm.

Here is the Collector in action finding all the annotations for a particular website…ooops, that doesn’t appear to work right now, but no probs. I will send John a user note on this and he can suss out the issue. Probably on my end–operator error dontchaknow.

Any way you look at it this has really neat curation and info gathering possibilities for academics, students, teachers, and many others. Try it out. Knowing this tool is available and useable allows me to do some advanced cogitatin’ on possibilities in my online classes this summer.

Update:  Good to his word, John fixed the URL issue so that now you can plug in the web address for a site that has been hypothesi.zed and get all the annotations.  (I still want a simple “copy to clipboard”, but I know Udell/Dean/&Co are pretty covered up.) Thanks, John.
