About this surface
The public site at virtuscyberacademy.org stays in catalog and intro register: a student browsing publicly sees what each course is and what it teaches. The classroom you are reading now is where the actual weekly content lives. Stage 1 is read-only. Stage 2 will add authentication and progress tracking.
