From Gen Ed To Grad School: Active Reading With Perusall

Do you ever struggle with getting students to engage closely with readings, or talk specifically about a text? Gina and Lindsey will talk about their experience using Perusall, an online tool that turns readings into interactive discussions. Students can annotate alongside a text, reply to each other, and closely analyze a range of readings. They’ll discuss their experience using the app, how it works compared to classic discussion posts, and how it improved engagement in their courses.

Presented By:

• Dr. Lindsey Simon-Jones – Associate Professor of English, English, Fayette
• Dr. Gina Brelsford – Professor of Psychology, School of Behavioral Sciences and Education, Harrisburg
