Perusall goes beyond traditional discussion boards because instructors can identify specific aspects of a reading or other course content that they would like students to engage with and students can also respond. Students can discuss or comment on podcasts, videos, images, webpages and PDFs.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”45px”][vc_single_image image=”9125″ img_size=”full”][vc_empty_space height=”45px”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][ultimate_heading main_heading=”Who?” heading_tag=”h1″ main_heading_color=”#090a0f” alignment=”left”][/ultimate_heading][vc_empty_space height=”45px”][vc_column_text]Instructors can use Perusall for free either integrated into a Canvas Course or as a stand alone course.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][ultimate_heading main_heading=”Why?” heading_tag=”h1″ main_heading_color=”#090a0f” alignment=”left”][/ultimate_heading][vc_empty_space height=”45px”][vc_column_text]Perusall increases the quantity and quality of student engagement with course material.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_empty_space height=”45px”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][vc_empty_space height=”45px”][ultimate_heading main_heading=”How to Integrate Perusall with Canvas” heading_tag=”h1″ alignment=”left”][/ultimate_heading][vc_empty_space height=”45px”][vc_column_text]
