The programs that gave PERRLA to every student.
What changed when a program gave PERRLA to every student, from the faculty who were there.
No tool replaces learning APA. Students still need to understand why they cite sources and how scholarly writing works. But removing unnecessary formatting friction has allowed us to focus on the purpose of evidence-based writing rather than the mechanics alone.

PERRLA helps you find your sources, properly cite them, correctly make your reference or bibliography page, and get your spell check and grammar check done as you go. You can also do another check at the end when you click I'm Finished, and PERRLA will give you ideas to clean up your work. It sets up your Research papers, Discussion posts, and several other things, so you know they are correctly formatted.
