Who can access my Perusall course?

  • Updated

Perusall offers three levels of access to our users:

1. Student

  • Students enroll in a course in two ways:

    • If your instructor has integrated Perusall with your learning management system (e.g., Blackboard, Canvas, Desire2Learn), no enrollment is needed. Simply click on the appropriate Perusall assignment links within your LMS.  Otherwise,

      • To login to Perusall, type perusall.com into the address bar in your browser, and click Login.

      • Create an account using your email address and password, or log in with your Facebook, Twitter, or Google accounts.

      • The onboarding process will prompt you for a course code from your instructor.

2. Teaching Assistant (TAs)

  • TAs can view conversations across all groups and their contributions to discussions will be highlighted similarly to instructors, but they do not have access to grades or to edit course or assignment settings.  TAs will not appear in the gradebook or course roster.

  • To invite a TA to your course, go to Settings > Access >  Teaching Assistants.

NOTE: If you'd like your TA to have more capabilities within the course, you'll want to invite them as an instructor.
