Introduction

Using research reports, journal articles, magazines, websites, and other sources of information is an effective way to supplement course content with different perspectives and ideas.  Perusall is a tool that shares content and encourages students to work and learn together. Utilizing the Perusall learning technology “increases engagement, drives collaboration, and builds community while intrinsically and extrinsically motivating students to participate" (Perusall, 2023).  This article will guide you through the process of adding Perusall to your Blackboard Ultra course.
