      Adding Courses to the Inspire Academy

      Once the structure of the Inspire Academy is in place, the Learning Management Administrator is ready to add courses. In order to add a new course, you must have at least one category set up for the Inspire Academy. To set up categories and manage the Inspire Academy, read this article.

      The Learning Management Administrator can add various types of courses, but Inspire recommends using SCORM courses.
