Course Management

Overview

Course management is located under:

Admin > Elearning > Courses > Courses

The course management page is split in two main parts, as for the user management. 

1. Categories: a tree-like structure for content categories. 
2. Course list: a flat list of all the courses assigned to the selected category

What is a Category

Categories will be shared among catalogs and other parts of the platform.

NOTE:
If you need a way to assign groups of courses to specific users, check the catalog feature
