What's a course?
In a typical world, a course is a set of classes or a plan of study on a particular subject, usually leading to an exam or qualification. A course in SafetyCulture is a structured series of engaging and interactive lessons. You can create and customize your own courses to be tailored to your organization or download pre-made courses from our course library.
What's a lesson?
A lesson is the actual content of a course. SafetyCulture Training offers different types of lessons to help you and your team curate the most engaging and interactive micro-learning experience. From a standard lesson with slides of texts, images, videos, quizzes, and games all the way to being able to assign a written task or even having a discussion with your team members. You can create a highly customizable lesson that suits you and your team's needs.
If you have SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) or AICC (Aviation Industry Computer-Based Training Committee) packages from existing learning management systems, you can also import them as lesson slides to your courses.
