Sharing Your Items and Tests with Other Educators

Authoring lets you share your original items and tests with other educators if you’d like them 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 institution, such as a campus 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 a test, you can choose to let recipients view it, edit it, publish it, and/or administer it in the Test Administration Site. When you share a test, the individual items on it are also shared with the same permissions as the test.
• 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.
