Create and Edit Courses

Bigtincan Learning offers an ideal opportunity to train employees/partners on product knowledge or business practices through creating and administering Courses. Courses provide a concise package of bite-sized learning programs referred as SLOs (Single Learning Objectives. For more information visit: Overview of Content SLO (Single Learning Objects).

Administrators may upload course assets before creating your course. Course assets would be any learning material, (PDF, videos, etc.) administrators want to include in the course--also any Quizzes that you will be using as part of the assessment.
