Learndash
LearnDash handles all course delivery: lessons, topics, quizzes, certificates, and user progress. Itβs structured and reliable, but requires discipline to keep content organised.
π§± Course Structure
A LearnDash course usually contains:
- Course β The main container
- Lessons β Primary content blocks
- Topics β Sub-sections within lessons
- Quizzes β Knowledge checks
- Assignments β Optional uploads
- Certificates β Issued on completion
This hierarchy ensures content stays organised and scalable.
βοΈ Creating or Editing Courses
- Go to LearnDash LMS β Courses.
- Add New or Edit.
- Use the Course Builder to add lessons, topics, and quizzes.
- Publish or update.
Lessons and topics have their own content editors where videos, text, downloads, and images are added.
π€ User Progress & Enrolments
Under LearnDash LMS β Reports, you can:
- View who is enrolled
- See progress
- Check quiz results
- Reset user progress if needed
π Notifications (Optional Add-On)
If enabled, email triggers can notify learners when:
- They complete a lesson
- They finish a course
- They pass/fail a quiz
βοΈ Best Practices
- Keep course content modular β short lessons perform better.
- Test quizzes and progression rules thoroughly.
- Avoid mixing manual enrolments with automated ones unless necessary.
- Use consistent naming for lessons/topics to avoid confusion later.
