Perusall Exchange 2025: Why Reading Matters to the Future of Learning

Perusall Exchange® 2025 is a free, virtual education conference taking place May 19–23, 2025, bringing together a global community of educators, researchers, and teaching professionals to explore this year’s timely theme: Why Reading Matters to the Future of Learning.

As artificial intelligence transforms how we access and process information, the role of reading in education is at a crossroads. At this year’s Exchange, we’ll examine how reading continues to shape critical thinking, comprehension, communication, and academic success—and what shifts in reading habits mean for students, instructors, and institutions.

The conference features:

• 20+ short paper and video presentations available on-demand
• 5 live events, including keynote addresses from renowned literacy advocate Maryanne Wolf and education journalist Beth McMurtrie
• Interactive discussions hosted on the Perusall platform, where you can annotate, comment, and engage with both presenters and fellow attendees
• Opportunities to participate asynchronously or synchronously, making the experience flexible and accessible

Whether you’re teaching in higher education, working in educational technology, or supporting teaching and learning initiatives, Perusall Exchange® 2025 offers a space to connect with peers, gain fresh insights, and reimagine the role of reading in today’s learning environments.
