Hypothes.is is an open source, non-profit project designed to develop an open protocol for annotation across the web. It is also specifically focused on supporting academic use. However, because it is an attempt to simulate a layer of the web that doesn't otherwise exist, the technical implementation is less than seamless.

I love hearing from students, and I love helping my students succeed. I also love email, which is at least in theory an ownerless, anarchistic, open protocol that doesn't rely on any one company or entity to make it work. But often I find that students come to college in need of a few pointers on what an effective email looks like. text/html 2023-12-03T10:17:18-0500 Anonymous ([email protected]) https://www.lelandquarterly.com/school/introduction_to_social_media?rev=1701616638&do=diff Introduction to Social Media MDST 1002 This course introduces students to concepts for better understanding online social media, the technology and infrastructures that allow them to flourish, and the cultures that grow up through and around them.

There is no one style of citation that is appropriate for every case. Rather than stipulate a particular citation style for all times and places, I encourage students to learn to determine for themselves what standards they should use in a given context. By the end of one's education, one should be familiar with a variety of citation techniques.
