Courses are the section of AXL where you create training courses for your account.
In this section, you create and manage the list of courses within the account: add new ones, edit, delete, change the name, description and other data about the courses.
A training course is a set of sequential steps to be presented to the user.
In AXL, a course consists of many steps (video, text, test, assignments) grouped by a specific topic that users study online. You provide access to each course or all the courses of your account at once. Access can be either paid or free.
