How do I collaborate with other instructors and teaching assistants?

Collaboration among instructors and teaching assistants in Perusall enables teams to seamlessly share teaching resources, assignments, and course configurations. 

Invite co-instructors

To give someone else full access to your course as an instructor:

1. Navigate to Settings > Access > Instructors. Enter a list of email address(es) of the instructor(s) you want to invite to your course, separated by commas, semicolons, or spaces. 
2. Each instructor will receive an email invitation to join the course that they will need to accept. 
3. Once added, co-instructors will have the same permissions that you do to access and administer the course, including access to all student data, course materials, assignments, and student interactions.  

Sharing course resources and assignments 

To share your course content but not student data, you can share your course Copy code: 

1. Navigate to Settings > Access > Instructors > Copy code. 
2. Copy this code and provide to other instructors. For more guidance, see: How to copy and reuse courses on Perusall
3.  Instructors with this code will gain access to your documents, assignments, settings, and instructor comments, and no student data will transfer over.
