\description{
Version 2.4 of swirl introduces a new, simple, and fast way of installing
courses in the form of \code{.swc} files. This function allows a user to grab
a \code{.swc} file from The swirl Course Network which is maintained by Team
swirl, or the user can use this function to install a local \code{.swc} file.
When using this function please only provide an argument for either
\code{course_name} or \code{swc_path}, never both.
}
