Creating and Assigning Programs

Programs are a collection of learning content. In other words, you can group courses (or checkpoints/live training) together into one Program, which you can then assign learners. You get the option of forcing learners to complete each course in a specific order, or in any order they choose.

You can create as many programs as you want, and they can contain as many courses as you need. You can then assign them just like a Course.

In the Author menu, click the Programs link.

In the Program Title field, enter a name for your program.If you do not enter a program name, your program will be saved as Untitled Program.
