Perusall Video Tutorial

This tutorial shows how to integrate Perusall, a social annotation platform, into a Moodle course site. It provides a clear, step-by-step walkthrough of connecting the two systems, uploading course materials, creating assignments, and linking those assignments directly within Moodle.

Purpose and Development

I created this tutorial to help instructors use Perusall more effectively within Moodle. The goal was to simplify the integration process by breaking it into four steps:

1. Connect Moodle to Perusall

2. Upload content such as documents, webpages, or videos

3. Create assignments in Perusall

4. Add links to assignments in Moodle

The video was produced with Camtasia and includes screencast demonstrations and transition slides. I wrote the script, recorded the narration, and performed all video editing.

Key Features

• Step-by-Step Demonstration – Shows each stage of setup in sequence.

• Narrated Screencast – Provides clear, guided explanations throughout.

• Visual Cues – Highlights key actions on screen to make steps easier to follow.

• Practical Application – Focuses on realistic workflows instructors can apply immediately.

Impact and Reflection

This tutorial supports faculty learning by providing an on-demand resource for using Perusall in their courses. It contributes to a growing library of short instructional videos designed to make educational technology more approachable. The project also demonstrates my experience in video-based instruction, technology integration, and the design of concise, task-oriented training materials.
