How to create a course? / What is the learning module?

The learning module is where administrators are able to upload course material for employees to go through if needed.

To create a course, you must first navigate to the settings module found in the navigation bar on the left hand side. There, scroll until you see the Learning Management section and click the 'create a course' button.
