Why did we adopt Talis Elevate? Talis Elevate is a tool that that allows students to annotate resources (documents, images, videos, etc.) These annotations can be shared or kept as private notes. Social annotation is a good way to get students involved and discussing documents together. Talis Elevate was our preferred option as it allowed students to annotate on both images and text which was needed for many primary sources. It is easy to use with minimal support required.

Take-Away Points 1. Can be used in asynchronous and synchronous teaching, and to bridge the two. 2. Works well with a huge variety of document types. 3. Students like and use the software, but they need support to engage with (rather than across) each other.
