This guide’s purpose is to get Perusall setup as quickly as possible so that students can start annotating documents.
What is Perusall?
From Perusall’s website: “Perusall turns your course content into collaborative conversations – so students come to class prepared, and instructors save time to focus on teaching,”. If you are familiar with Hypothesis, you will get the idea – Faculty upload a document and students can highlight text and write comments and have conversations within the document.
Social annotation brings a liveliness to documents. Professors can highlight a passage and students can contribute their thoughts and feelings, with their own perspectives. All participants can reply and engage in conversation.
Perusall has a lot of features – this guide is the most basic. It details how to get Perusall in to your Moodle course and start making assignments with documents you upload.
I chose to upload a tried and true recipe for the what I believe to be one of the single best breakfast items – the burrito. I got the recipe from Not Another Cooking Show. We meal prep it, put a bunch in the freezer and warm them up for a delicious breakfast with no setup.
Should I start a food blog?
No, but you should try Perusall!
