Enroll section instructors; enroll as a section instructor

Updated 17 Jun 2024

A section instructor is a teaching colleague who is not the creator of the course. Section instructors can't change course details or delete the course. The course creator decides what they can access. Section instructors are different from students who get promoted to teaching assistants.

Section instructors enroll in your course. If you have an educator account (to create courses), you can teach your own courses and be a section instructor in other courses.

Using an LMS? Register as a section instructor from your learning management system if you work in Blackboard, Canvas, D2L Brightspace, Moodle, Sakai, or Schoology. For Mastering with Direct integration, see Add/remove section instructors and give privileges.

As a course creator, give your section instructor:

Course ID - The course ID is a unique identifier for your course. It consists of your last name followed by five or six digits. For example: wong63229. Find your course ID on your course creation confirmation email, the My Courses page, or the course details page.

Course invite link - The course invite link is a direct URL to register for your course. For example: https://mlm.pearson.com/enrollment/instructor95213. Find your course invite link on the course-specific registration instructions.

Get section instructor access codes from your Pearson support rep. All section instructors, whether or not they have Educator access, need a section instructor access code.

Important: Never give section instructor access codes to students.
