Perusall allows the following media types to be made available to students for social interactions:  

  • PDF files
  • EPUB book files
  • Word documents
  • Excel documents
  • Source code files (in most popular languages)
  • Videos based at YouTube, Google Drive, Vimeo, or Dropbox
  • Podcasts distributed through RSS.

Perusall also has many relationships with textbook and other publishers, so that your students can purchase textbooks to be available through Perusall.  


Perusall has it's own management dashboard outside D2L.  You must create a Perusall account, and then can access that management dashboard by going to:

...

  1. Select Add Existing Activities > External Learning Tools > Create New LTI Link.  (LTI stands for "Learning Tools Interoperability," and is just a common protocol with which many educational technologies communicate.)
  2. Enter Perusall for the name, and paste in the following URL for the LTI URLhttps://app.perusall.com/lti/launch
  3. Click Create and Insert.
  4. Select Edit properties in place in the dropdown next to the newly-created link, and check Open as external resource.  This means Perusall will open in a second browser tab, which is always better for you and your students.
  5. Reload the page.
  6. Click on the new Perusall link. Perusall will launch and a course will be created that is connected to your D2L course.

...

If you set up a link per Perusall's instructions, with the exact same name in either the dashboard or D2L, it automatically sets up grade sink.  If so done, can I prevent the auto-grading feature from populating D2L gradebook?
