I am new to online course creation, how do I go about it? What are some best practices?

We've tried to make the system as intuitive to use as possible, so all you need to do is select "Create a Siminar" to get started.

However, we do have a series of Siminars that contain some of the best practices for designing an e-Learning course. You can sign up here for free:
