Perusall

Overview

Perusall allows for an instructor to create an External Learning Tool link pointing to a Perusall activity. Upon successful completion of a Perusall activity, grades will be synced to the D2L Brightspace grade book. The Perusall integration relies upon an External Learning Tool (LTI) link created within a D2L Brightspace course. 

Note: In summer 2022, the Perusall integration was updated to a new LTI version (LTI 1.3/Advantage). This document references the steps for the latest version.

Instructions for Use

Insert a Link

  1. Navigate to the Brightspace Content tool.
  2. Within a module, click Existing Activities > External Learning Tools. 
  3. Click Perusall.

Link to an Assignment (deep link)

  1. Navigate to the Content tool of your Brightspace course.
  2. Click Existing Activities > Perusall.
  3. Click on the assignment to insert.

Grade Synchronization

Following a student's completion of the activity, the grade from the vendor integration will be automatically sent to the D2L Brightspace grade book.

Note: Grade Sync will create the grade item within the D2L Brightspace grade book, but it will not create a category.  You will need to move the created grade item into a category.  If you would like to create the grade item manually, review Assessing LTI & SCORM in Content.
