WORDPRESS COURSE BUILDER

Build and launch a complete course this weekend.

Structure online courses with lessons, topics, and assessments in minutes, then drag and drop to a complete course that’s ready to sell.

Create quizzes with 8 question types

Mix and match question types like multiple choice, essays, sorting, fill-in-the-blank, and more.

Question types in LearnDash are shown, rearrange the options in a list, complete the sentence, multiple choice, matching options, audio clip playback with multiple choice, and a summarization box where you can type in the answer.

Reorganize on the fly with drag-and-drop

Rearrange lessons, topics, and questions to match your preferred flow.

A WordPress user drags and drops elements on a course page as they customize, the user is dragging a quiz button to the final assessment section.

Go from prompt to curriculum in minutes

Describe a topic and the LearnDash AI course builder generates a structured outline with lessons ready for you to customize and publish.

A LearnDash user creates a course outline by filling in course title, number of lessons, and course description for an Introduction to Mediterranean Cuisine online course.

Customize each element from the start

Customize each element to match your teaching style and learning goals. Nothing is locked down.

LMS Reporting

Know exactly what’s
working in your courses.

Because when your program is growing, gut instinct isn’t a reporting strategy. Monitor it all from one dashboard: enrollment trends, completion rates, quiz performance, at-risk learner flags, and more.

Real-time enrollment tracking

See new enrollments and signups as they happen, not after the fact.

A bar graph shows quarterly course enrollments over three years with a trend line going up and down.

Analyze quiz performance

Improve your lessons using quiz score breakdowns and analysis to highlight where learners struggle.

The LMS dashboard shows a series of students and their progress, correct answers, incorrect answers, hints used, time spent, grades, and pass/fail results.

Track course completion rates

See what percentage of learners finish each course and identify where they drop off.

Two graphs show the ratio of students who haven't started a course, are currently in progress, and completed, the second graph shows the course completion percentages.

Monitor individual learner progress

Catch at-risk students before they disengage with individual progress tracking.

A user looks at a selection of students and their groups, certificates, courses, engagement by course name, and average quiz score.

Built-in memberships

Sell subscriptions and memberships without a third-party plugin.

MemberDash is built directly into LearnDash, giving you a complete membership platform from day one. Create tiers, sell subscriptions, and manage access, all from one place.

Build multiple membership tiers

Create free, basic, and premium tiers with different access levels and pricing.

A series of membership levels in the LearnDash LMS plugin including options like intermediate, pro free, gold, platinum, advanced, guest, basic, and beginner.

Sell recurring subscriptions and course bundles

Offer monthly and yearly subscriptions or bundled course packages.

A dropdown menu in a member's course shows options to make recurring payments and one time payments with varied level of access.

Release content on a schedule

Drip content by membership level so members always have something new waiting.

A promotional drip content card for an upcoming online course, the number of lessons and quizzes, and the date it's available.

Let members manage their own accounts 

Members update their own payment methods, manage subscriptions, and profile info without contacting you.

A membership profile is shown with invoice totals, dates, status, and member level.

See which courses and subscriptions are driving revenue 

Track course sales, subscription revenue, and which offerings perform best.

A revenue trend graph in the LearnDash plugin interface showing avg revenue, total revenue, and the total number of courses selling online.

LEARNDASH GROUPS

Sell learning to entire organizations, not just individuals.

Group-based enrollment and multi-instructor tools let you sell seat-based learning to enterprise customers and let them run their own teams without adding complexity to your operation. Available on the Elite plan.

Sell group seats to organizations

Companies enroll entire teams at once with seat-based pricing. You set the pricing; they handle the headcount.

A series team members and their profile pictures for a company using LearnDash Groups Plus.

Let clients run their own teams so you don’t have to.

Stay focused on building by allowing clients to assign their people and manage their teams.

Let multiple instructors work on a single course

Contributors can collaborate seamlessly, without stepping on each other or creating bottlenecks.

Multiple users edit a course called Online Marketing for Beginners.

Instructors build courses without back-end access

Give instructors their own role with front-end course creation so they never touch the WordPress dashboard.

A LearnDash user builds an online course with drag and drop content options.

Let learners leave reviews to build trust and improve your courses

Reviews and ratings give you the signal you need to sharpen content and give new learners confidence.

Reviews for an online course are shown with filter options for most recent and star ratings, the course creator responds to a positive review.
