Perusall at U-M

Perusall is a social annotation tool for instructors that works within Canvas to increase engagement, drive collaboration, and build community while motivating students to participate in assignments before coming to class. Students can ask questions if they don't understand a concept and receive input from their peers.

Perusall turns coursework into a social experience, making learning more fun and engaging while simultaneously helping students think critically and develop a deeper understanding of the material.

Perusall works with your favorite course content including books, articles, web pages, videos, podcasts, and images. Perusall also offers an extensive library of textbook titles from leading publishers.

There is no charge to use Perusall; however, students may be required to purchase a course textbook if the instructor advises them to do so.
