Overview
Description from Etools: Using Perusall in the Classroom1: Perusall is an e-reader platform that allows students and faculty to annotate the assigned readings and engage the reading material in a style akin to social media posting. Students can write full comments, “like” comments, use hashtags, link URLs to their comments and even use emoticons.
These are the new instructions for using Perusall LTI 1.3 in Blackboard, this will make the integration simpler with fewer steps. Please see instructions below.
