    Depending on your integration, the items in the Options menu differ. For example, you access Diagnostics differently from Blackboard.

    Content icon

    Or choose Open from the Options menu.

    Options menu

Open Pearson button

You might see another page telling you how to re-open your content. If the Revel and eText or Pearson integration isn't already open in another tab, return to your LMS course navigation and select the Pearson link again. In a partner integration, your link is something like BookShelf or Launch courseware.

Section instructors: Multiple instructors can use the same Pearson content in an LMS course. The first instructor adds Pearson content to an LMS course and enrolls any other instructors. Other instructors open the Pearson content and, if applicable, link a Pearson account with an LMS instructor account. An access code or other payment isn't required. No changes need to be made to designate the other instructor within Pearson.

Teaching assistants: Some LMSs don't support the teaching assistant role. To retain their privileges, TAs should access a Revel course through My courses instead of the LMS course.
