Creating Course Categories

Course Categories allow course creators and managers to sort professional development options into easy-to-find sections. Course participants can use the sorting and filtering tools to find courses. The Course Category Options section includes Add Standard Category or Add Group Category.

• The Add Standard Category creates a single group of similar courses. 
• The Add Group Category creates a collection of subgroups of similar courses.
