Instructors may want to share content to collaborate on teaching strategies, ensure course consistency, save time, improve student outcomes, receive feedback, and support new or substitute instructors. Sharing content fosters a more efficient and effective teaching environment. 

For tests including content from Publisher Titles, shared users may need to have redeemed the associated title in order to view the publisher questions within the test, print the test, or use the test in an exam. 

The following content may be shared:

• Tests
• Questions
• Question Banks
• Files
• Case Studies / Narratives
