Perusall: Cloning Perusall for a New CRN

Updated on Nov 08, 2023

About

In this article, you will learn how to utilize Perusall's cloning option. You will need to follow this process anytime you teach a course that is cloned from a Master Course to any other course. Repeat this process for each individual CRN.

Note: Each cloned course should already have a course login, but if it does not then please check out our article Perusall: Adding a Perusall Course Login to D2L to learn how to set up a Perusall login for your course.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Launch Perusall from the newly cloned D2L course by logging into Perusall.

The new course in the LMS will link a corresponding course in Perusall.
