Perusall allows group annotation of texts, websites, videos, and podcasts. It offers auto-grading and can provide access to a number of publisher texts (with student-paid fees) found in a searchable database. Students can “upvote” peer annotations. Perusall requires a separate account/login for both faculty and students. 

Considerations for using Perusall

Instructors must first create assignments on Perusall, then copy them into Canvas using the external tool feature in assignments or modules.

Please note: Due to copyright restrictions, Cornell University Library materials may not be uploaded to Perusall.

Currently, Perusall does not support a TA role.
