How To: Add a Course

Admins can add Courses for Learners through the Admin Experience. Courses are used to communicate new processes or information to Learners, or to conduct Assessments. There are two types of Courses available in the LMS: Online and Instructor Led. Online Courses are completed virtually by Learners on their own time. Instructor Led Courses are completed in Sessions that are led by an Instructor. In this article we will outline how to add a new Online or Instructor Led Course to your Portal.
