Getting started creating your own courses

Multithreaded Knowledge is a WordPress plugin. You will need a WordPress site to create courses. WordPress is the most popular content management and blogging platform in the world, and you can use your WordPress site for a variety of purposes from blogging to eCommerce. If you already have a WordPress site, Multithreaded Knowledge should install and play nicely with other plugins you are using and is designed to look good on every theme. If you're unfamiliar with WordPress, here is information about getting started and how you can install plugins. Once the Multithreaded Knowledge plugin is installed and activated you can move to the next step.

Adding Lessons to a Course
