Updated 10 Nov 2023

To access Revel or eText content from your LMS course, link your accounts once and add or copy content to your LMS course. Then set up Revel or eText assignments.

If Revel and eText or Pearson isn't already open in another tab, return to your LMS course navigation and select the Revel and eText or Pearson link again. In a partner integration, your link is named something like BookShelf or Launch courseware.

   Section instructors and teaching assistants

   We don't currently support the section instructor roles. However, multiple instructors can use the same Revel and eText or Pearson content in an LMS course. The first instructor adds content to an LMS course and enrolls any other instructors. Other instructors open the content and might need to link a Pearson account with an LMS instructor account. An access code or other payment isn't required. No changes are needed to designate the other instructor within Pearson.

   For how Revel designates teaching assistants (TAs), see Revel Help.

4. Select Continue.

Next, add or copy Revel or eText content to your LMS course.
