Reading Together Online is the first course in Pathway A: Social Reading & Collaborative Annotation. It transforms the social annotation skills developed in Course 1 into a sustained practice of collaborative reading, group inquiry, and shared meaning-making. Where Course 1 asked learners to recognize annotation everywhere, Course 2 asks them to dwell inside a shared text with others — to experience what happens when a group of readers adds their thinking to the same pages over time.

Analyze how a text functions as a shared problem space when annotated by a group
