Adding script packages to a course in Course Manager by Skytap
Scripts allow lab end users to perform automated tasks by clicking a Manual shortcut or lab action in the Learning Console. Script packages are hosted on the Course Manager Script Host VM in the lab end user’s Skytap environment and can’t be edited or viewed by the user.
