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.
