Definition
Launchers allow learners to connect to the learning. With a Module created, you can create a Launcher. A Launcher connects the Module to a 6-digit launch code. When the launch code is used to launch the training module in the headset, the data collected is connected to the learner specified in the Launcher.
This is a manual method if you are not using an LMS integration.
