Critical Reading with Perusall
Perusall is a collaborative annotation website that works like social media for reading. You upload a text, and students can highlight, leave comments in the margins, and respond to each other's posts.
In part one of this series, Critical Reading with Perusall, we'll discuss best pedagogical practices for implementing Perusall in your course. Be sure to join us for part two, Perusall Tool Training, where you'll learn everything you need to know to set up your Perusall course and integrate it with Folio (coming summer 2019).
