Hi Lacey,

The key difference is that the Microcourse template does not have Sections or Lessons like the default course does.

In essence it is a course with only one lesson.

All other features you know and love as part of the course still exist:

E-Commerce, Tagging, Resources, DIfferent page types, Completion criteria etc.

The focus is to give the learner a Bite-Size learning experience, at the moment of need. 

I hope this helps

Jon
