The Perusall Exchange® is an annual community conference that has both synchronous and asynchronous opportunities for participation.  Attend at your convenience while still engaging in dynamic dialogue with other attendees and presenters - whether you join us asynchronously on the Perusall platform or synchronously for the live sessions!

Our theme this year is Why Reading Matters to the Future of Learning.

As we navigate a world of rapid information transfer and artificial intelligence, reading remains essential to our development of foundational learning skills like writing, comprehension, critical thinking, and the ability to solve complex problems. In higher education, we are seeing this  change in reading habits and skills, posing challenges for students, instructors, and institutions. Does reading matter to the future of learning?
