What instructors are saying

Perusall can help you revive the "lost art" of reading for your students.

Perusall has been a fantastic tool to improve student engagement with reading the text and provides me the opportunity to practice just-in-time instruction using the Confusion Report.

Perusall is the easiest course management tool that I have ever set up and used. It is completely customizable without being overly complicated. I love being able to engage with my students and answer questions while they are reading. The built-in features such as the dictionary, read aloud function, and search are wonderful.

A great way to get students to actually talk about the readings

With Perusall, I can flexibly guide students through material and they can flexibly guide each other. Learning that was formerly invisible is now seen and valued.

A great tool to engage students in reading

My students love Perusall. They consistently tell me that they enjoy seeing what their classmates think about the content and they appreciate that they can ask me questions about the readings in an easy to engage with format.

Perusall has been an effective method for engaging my students, encouraging them to think through readings collaboratively, both in class and on their own. It has also been instrumental in reducing student AI use when responding to course texts.

I could not teach 200 students remotely and asynchronously each semester without Perusall. With Perusall, I can see that they have watched my instructional videos that take the place of class. Moreover, it's the only real way that I've found to get students to interact with each other in a meaningful way. Because they choose what to respond to, not some prompt created by me, they engage with the content that matters most to them.

I'd encourage educators to give this platform serious consideration. Perusall is flexible and customizable to meet your needs.

Perusall is an excellent tool to increase students' engagement with course material. As a tool, it is very easy to setup and I strongly encourage every instructor concerned about to try it. Highly recommended!

I teach literature classes to university undergraduates. For 25 years I struggled to figure out a way to get students to do the reading and engage with it in a meaningful way. Then I found Perusall, which has transformed how I teach. I cannot imagine teaching without Perusall now! Not only does it get the students talking to each other about the literature in a way that they would never do in the classroom, it lets me observe or join the conversations. Perusall lets me "see" their thought process in real time as they read, which in turn helps me know what to bring into the classroom for further discussion.

"I love Perusall because it transforms reading into a dynamic, collaborative conversation—helping my students connect course material to their lives, careers, and internships in a way that feels natural and engaging."

Have you ever had many questions when you are reading academic material and then in class you can't think of any to ask your professor? Have you ever wanted to argue with or add to the academic literature when you are reading, but then your mind goes blank in class? Perusall helps you have that one-on one conversation with your professor when you're stuck on a difficult topic or want to explore a different direction from the reading.

Perusall has allowed me to focus on skill building with my students. I can focus on developing their critical thinking and critical reading skills as opposed to just requiring them to read. When they interact with other students on Perusall they are forced to think more deeply about the content and how to formulate their arguments and reasoning.
