Self-Paced Learning Training Key Pool

Training Key Pools allow you to distribute keys to Users for them to create Self-Paced course assignments. The pool gives access to one Course. The pool has multiple keys to distribute to different users. The user can take (and re-take) the training for as long as the Course Assignment is valid. This method is much more efficient than creating individual course assignments for each student, if multiple course assignments are needed. With training key pools, you can set the Duration of access to content for students, designating that students have access to the course's labs for a limited amount of time.
