How to Create a Lesson

Lessons are the foundation of training content in Simulations Labs.
Each lesson contains learning content and can include challenges or labs for hands-on practice.

This article walks you through creating a lesson that can later be added to units and courses.

Before You Start

Before creating a lesson:

• Make sure you understand the training content structure
