Create a Single Course

OVERVIEW

A course is a shell that neatly houses your e-learning activities and assessments in a structured way. A course can be used to help your end-users acquire new knowledge and skills.

Users with the "Site Admin" or "Course Creator" roles can create new courses and define course settings. 

USE CASE EXAMPLE:

You as a training manager are responsible for onboarding new employees into your organization. You want to provide a comprehensive and structured training program to ensure that new hires quickly understand your company's policies and procedures.
With this tool, you can easily create a course specifically designed for onboarding purposes. 

For example: You can include modules on company culture, HR policies, compliance training, and department-specific guidelines.
Users can access the course materials at their own pace, review important information, and complete assessments to gauge their understanding.

This helps streamline the onboarding process and ensures that all employees receive consistent, comprehensive and effective training.
