UA is exploring options for purchasing an institutional license, but until that decision is made, instructors may use Perusall freely by uploading their own content.
When adding a Perusall link, you will see options for purchasing content and/or charging students. This brief guide will walk you through the process to demonstrate how to bypass those options.
Instructions
From within your Blackboard Learn Ultra course:
Select the plus sign (+ ) in the Course Content area.
Select Content Market.
Navigate to Perusall in the alphabetical list and select it. You will be redirected to the dashboard of your Perusall account.
