Talis Elevate is a tool that enables students to annotate resources (documents, images, audio and videos, etc.), both individually and collaboratively. These annotations can be shared or kept as private notes. They have proven a powerful driver of student engagement and learning in History at Lincoln, as is made clear in the resources below.
