What are the benefits of registering as a faculty member?
“Verified Faculty” status gives professional educators affiliated with accredited colleges and universities the opportunity to view and download inspection copies of thousands of Darden cases and technical notes. Verified faculty members can also download free inspection copies of the teaching notes associated with many of our cases. To register as verified faculty, complete and submit the online user registration form, paying special attention to the professor-verification methods listed at the bottom. Once your registration form is received and your faculty status verified—usually within one business day—you will be notified by e-mail that your request for faculty access has been granted and your account has been activated. You can then log on to our website with the e-mail address and password you registered with to access Darden teaching materials. Other benefits of registering as a faculty member:
- Review inspection copies of cases, teaching notes, and case supplements
- Learn about best practices in our case method discussion forums
- Rate your favorite products and leave teaching suggestions to assist other instructors
- Share your ideas with other instructors on blogs and news items

How do I download an inspection copy of a document?

Similar to obtaining an inspection copy of a case, the teaching note can be accessed by clicking on the Teaching Materials button to the right of the case icon.
How do I set up a simulation for my class?
Simulations offer an effective way to bring real-time, high-engagement learning right into your classroom. Darden Business Publishing recognizes that various academic institutions handle the acquisition of course materials differently. Some programs have a flat-fee structure, whereby all course materials are included, while other programs require students to purchase content themselves. Our website offers both options. See below to learn how to set up a Darden simulation for your class today.
Simulation Session: The course instructor or simulation administrator (Admin) initiates the simulation by reserving a Simulation Session. In the Class Description box, enter a unique alphanumeric identifier for each class of students. After completing the class description, add the simulation session to the order cart. If the Admin will be paying for the students’ User Licenses, enter the number of licenses needed and add to the order cart. If students will be purchasing their own licenses, the Admin will simply enter the class description information, add the simulation session to the order cart, and complete the order. Once the order is processed, the Admin will receive an e-mail containing details of the simulation session and a purchase link to share with students.
User License: One User License is required for each student participating in the simulation. At the time the Simulation Session is created, the course instructor or simulation administrator (Admin) can purchase the licenses for students or opt to have students purchase their own licenses before participating in the simulation.
How do I search for a product?
Use the Search box to search for a product by title, author, case number, date, or keyword. To broaden your results, include an asterisk to search on all derivations of a word. For example, searching on “Japan” will return texts that include “Japan,” whereas searching on “Japan*” will return texts that include both “Japan” and “Japanese.”
Why are some cases labeled A, B, or C?
A, B, and C simply refer to cases that have more than one decision point over time. The A, B, or C will be noted in the title of a case if it is part of a series. Most cases are considered “standalone,” since they have only one decision point. Typically, when assigning a case series, an instructor will ask students to prepare the A case for class. The subsequent cases are then distributed in class as the discussion unfolds.
How do I browse the Darden Case Collection?
Browse by topic, using the Categories menu, or by author, using the Authors menu, both in the left-hand navigation bar.
