FACULTY: ULTRA: Setting up Perusall links in Blackboard

Perusall is a social learning platform that aims to improve learning outcomes by promoting student engagement and collaboration with all types of course content. You can link to Perusall from within your Blackboard course site.

  1. To set up your Perusall course, in your Course Content area, click the + (Add content) > Content Market > find Perusall, and click on it  to go to the Perusall set up page.
    1. Click the + if you wish to add a general link to the course content area. From your Perusall course, you can select/upload content and create assignments.
  2. Optionally, you can create "deep links" to specific Perusall assignments. (See Assignment-Specific (Deep links) Creation in our knowledge base.)
  3.  To do this, navigate to a content area, click the + (Add content) > Content Market > Perusall deep link, and click on it. Then, you will be presented with a list of your Perusall assignments. Click on one of them to add it to that content area of your Blackboard course, and choose whether to add the item to your gradebook as well.
