Perusall is a social learning platform that lets students annotate text, videos, and audio to ask questions, share insights, and build a collaborative learning community. It boosts reading engagement and learning—claims include moving reading completion from 20–30% to over 90%—and provides automatic engagement scoring, analytics (like a confusion report), and LMS integration with a catalog of more than 1.4 million titles from 54,000+ publishers, plus options to upload resources. The service is FERPA-compliant and ad-free, does not sell data, uses AI/ML to save instructors time (with a pre-trained model that does not use your data to train it), and is used by 95,000+ instructors at 6,000+ institutions teaching more than 6 million students across 117 countries.
