There is technically no difference between these two terms.  If you are in the education field, you would probably use the term course.  A college professor teaching a class in Economics would call this class a course.  If you are in the corporate realm, it could be either in regards to what you are using our platform for.  For example, if you are a HR director and need your employees to go through training on harassment in the workplace, you would more than likely call that a course.  If you work for an architecture firm and your team is designing a new bridge, the term project would make more sense.  Huddle Up provides tremendous flexibility and many options for our Project Leaders.
