What is Starting with Simple Author on-your-own digital lesson?

In four mini-trainings, you can learn the basics of Simple Author to create an engaging lesson you can immediately use to introduce yourself, your course, or your program to others!

Each module will be less than 15 minutes to do if you aren’t building along or 15 to 60 minutes if you are building along, which we hope you’ll want to do!
