1) Recap of Course Hierarchy & Dependencies

Courses organize learning content via a series of Modules that contain individual Lessons.  

Courses that reside in the same Learning Program share content

An easy way to determine what is shared between a Programs Courses, Modules & Lessons is to use the Quick Links as a guide.

Content contained in a Program's Quick Links is shareable amongst all subsidiary Courses, Modules & Lessons

Modules & Lessons can be moved to any location within their parent Program

• Example:  Module C1 can be moved to Course B
• Example:  Lesson B2-1 can be moved to Module C1
• Non-Example:  Module B2 cannot be moved to Course A
• Non-Example:  Lesson A1-3 cannot be moved to Course C

Example Courses for a Distribution Center

• Example Course:  Delivery Driver Training
• Example Course:  [Software Name] Training
• Example Course:  Onboard Training
• Example Course:  Annual Training
