b'Using the tools of online textual annotation -- the platform Rap Genius, its spinoff site Poetry Genius, or MIT\'s own Annotation Studio -- readers can collaborate on annotating or interpreting a work, make their annotations public, and respond to interpretations by others. We will be joined by creators, facilitators, and users of these sites to discuss how online annotation is changing practices of reading, enriching practices of teaching and learning, and making newly public a previously private encounter with the written word.\\n\\nSpeakers:\\n\\nWyn Kelley is a senior lecturer in Literature.
