Assignments in Perusall
Assignments in Perusall are different from HuskyCT assignments in several ways. First, Perusall assignments are designed around a single piece of course content that students are to engage with and annotate. Further, unlike the Assignment tool in HuskyCT, student responses are visible to the other members of the course, as well as the instructors.
Perusall is designed to facilitate a discussion both between the content and the students, but also the students with their peers and the instructor.
Perusall features two main types of assignments. First, regular assignments provide a platform for course-wide engagement with a particular text or piece of content. Second, differentiated assignments provide a way of assigning particular pieces of content to specific students and are built around a folder containing a set of content.
