This article will walk you through the initial steps to set up your course in Perusall.
Step by Step Instructions
Creating and Linking your Course from D2L
First follow the instructions in Perusall: Adding a Perusall Course Login to D2L.
Completing Perusall Course Setup
When you first enter your Perusall course, you will be prompted to complete the following steps to set up your course. Any of these settings can be changed later on through the Settings tab.
In this tutorial, we will start with an empty course. For more information on copying a course, see Perusall: Cloning Perusall for a New CRN
The Syllabus review assignment will only be available to toggle on if you have uploaded your syllabus to Perusall in the above step.
Pima Community College has an institutional license for Perusall. Students will not have a student access fee and no action is required on your part. Select Continue to move forward.
- Automatic grading and engagement analytics: Perusall will provide data about student engagement for your review and assignments will be graded automatically. You can always override automatically-assigned grades and decide when they are displayed to students.
- Manual grading and engagement analytics: Perusall will provide data about student engagement for your review. Assignments will not be graded automatically, but you can review student engagement data and manually assign scores to students' assignment submissions.
- Disable grading, but provide engagement analytics: Perusall will provide data about student engagement for your review. All assignments will be ungraded and the gradebook will be disabled.
- Disable all analytics: Perusall will not provide data about student engagement. All assignments will be ungraded and the gradebook will be disabled.
Release scores to students options in order:
- Only after instructor manually releases them in the Gradebook.
- After the assignment deadline has passed, including any late comment period and post-deadline reply window.
- After the assignment deadline has passed, but before any late comment period or post-deadline reply window.
- Immediately, as the student submits work.
Grade sync options in order:
- Do not sync grades back to the LMS
- Manually sync individual assignment scores back to the LMS
- Automatically sync individual assignment scores back to the LMS
- Automatically sync students' average scores back to the LMS.
We recommend automatically synchronizing the gradebook with D2L except in specific use case scenarios. Choose to either send individual assignment scores or each student's average score across all Perusall assignments.
Options in order:
- Instructor creates deep links in LMS; no Perusall gradebook columns will appear in LMS until deep links have been created.
- Perusall creates gradebook columns in LMS for each Perusall assignment automatically (we recommend choosing this option except in specific use case scenarios).
