Share Your Content with Other Educators

Authoring lets you share your original items and tests with other educators who you want to co-author the content, use the content for themselves, or administer your original tests to students. Content may be shared with individual educators, custom groups of educators (known as “workgroups”), or an entire institution, such as a school or district.

You can choose exactly how recipients will be able to use your shared content. The available sharing permissions you can give them depend on what type of content you are sharing:

• When sharing an item, you can choose to let recipients view it, edit it, and/or publish tests that they’ve added the item to.
• When sharing a test, you can choose to let recipients view it, edit it, publish it, and/or administer it in the TA Interface. When you share a test, the individual items on it are also shared with the same permissions as the test.

Draft content can be shared with individuals and/or workgroups for collaboration but cannot be shared with institutions. Published content can be shared with individuals, workgroups, and/or institutions.
