Perusall is an annotation tool for textbooks to create engaging interactions and community within the text itself. Perusall is free and is already integrated with our installation of Blackboard. To setup Perusall for use in your class, follow the instructions below. To learn more about Perusall, or for support, please visit Perusall’s website at: https://perusall.com/
- Once in the Blackboard course, navigate to a content folder where you would like to place the link. NOTE: You cannot place it in the left navigation menu. It must be in Learning Modules or a Learning Modules Content Folder or the link will not be active.
- In the header area of Learning Modules or a Content Folder, Click the Drop-Down Arrow to the right of Build Content and then select Web Link on the drop-down menu.
3. On the WEB LINK INFORMATION screen, type the following information (match the screenshot below):
a. Name = Perusall
b. URL = https://app.perusall.com/lti/launch

e. You can leave the Enable Evaluation set to “No.”
d. The rest of the page is optional to fill out.
