Creating Coursepacks for Instructors
Coursepacks created by Verified Instructors will appear in the Coursepacks area of the site. Only coursepacks associated with the subscribing institution will appear here and they will only be visible within the permitted IP range.
In order to create coursepacks, faculty must be verified as an instructor at the subscribing institution. Faculty should fill out the Instructor Verification registration form to enable our site administrators to assign the Verified Instructor role to the listed account. The form is available here: http://aaeportal.com/footer/contact-us/instructor-verification
