Faculty can upload Word documents, PDF files, PowerPoint and more for students to collaborate and comment on with their classmates.
Use Cases
Perusall can be used for a group or team project to collaborate on or review course material.
Prompts can be added within assignments for students to encourage discussion on specific parts or ideas in the material.
Comments or questions can be upvoted to show understanding or confusion on ideas in the material.
