GZ Learn courses function like a "class" within a module and let you break lengthy learning materials into smaller, more digestible sections.
In this article, we will explain:
- How to access the Learning Management System Module Administration page
- How to add a course to a module
- How to edit a course
- How to publish or unpublish a course

- Adding a description is optional. The description can include rich text, which allows for bulleted or numbered lists (just click on the appropriate icon above the text bar). You may also include bold, italic, underlined or linked text in the description.
If preferred, you can allow Chapter Images and select if you want to Automatically generate a chapter and activity. Click the Save button. Once saved, the Edit Course page will display, allowing you to add a course image and edit the course details.
