With it, you can create a timeline of updates from your courses and display them anywhere on your WordPress site with a shortcode. For example:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>News sites can easily post updates to stories broken apart into multiples posts<\/li>\n<li>Course creators can use it to tease previews of their full course<\/li>\n<li>Developers can use it to document the progress of their work on their blog, or as a changelog<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>See SCC Updates in action:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>None.
