Building a course

NOTE: Depending on your permissions, you may not be able to build courses. If you think you need a different level of access, talk to your Strivr Account Executive.

In the Strivr Portal, you can build courses that you can then deploy to your company’s headsets. Courses consist of one or more modules, and modules consist of one or more pieces of content. Content is authored in Strivr Creator (or other third-party tools) and saved to your Content Library.
