Blackboard Instructor Setup

After Perusall has been installed by your admin, you can follow these steps to set up your Blackboard-linked Perusall course.

In Blackboard Learn

1. Navigate to a Content Area in your Blackboard course.
2. Click Tools in the left navigation bar, and select Perusall.
3. Click on Perusall to create a blank course.

If you don't see Perusall in Tools, it's possible that your IT admin has removed access there. You can Launch Perusall by going to Build Content > Perusall, and you'll be prompted to build your course, there.

In Blackboard Ultra

1. In your Course Content area, click the + Add content > Content Market
2. Locate Perusall 1.3, and click on the + to add it the course content area.
3. Refresh the page, and click on Perusall to create a blank course.

By default, when you create an assignment in Perusall, we will automatically make a corresponding grade item for each Perusall assignment in your Blackboard course gradebook that will sync based on your Perusall course settings, so you will not need to make more Perusall links in your Blackboard course.  However, if you'd like to make assignment-specific links (called deep links), learn more about Blackboard Integration Features.
