Learndash is a very affordable option if you want to create a professional eLearning site. It provides a great solution through it' s addon. However, it requires a bit of technical knowledge to set up and needs more design flexibility to make it even better.

I like the fact that given the options that they provide, it's extremely affordable and offers a tonne of great features for which they can charge a lot more. They have enough addons and more to create a professional eLearning site and give users the option to monetize specific courses easily.

It's quite challenging for a new user to get used to the Learndash environment without having much technical knowledge.

I've used several study plugins, but here I've found with LearnDash the perfect solution for my online courses!

It's complete and there are a lot of usefull updates!!

...nothing specific, it's perfect for everybody who want's to sale there online courses!!

We work in a complicated system with a number of individuals who are not able to be in our LMS. That said we needed a solution, and this is where we turned to LearnDash. We run it as a stand-alone LMS and capture those people who are not in our upper campus managed LMS.

LearnDash was easy to install and work with right out of the box! It is logical and arranged in a manner that is easy to understand and implement.

No cons really - we just took our time and walked through the implementation process.

This software is helping us simplify and streamline our ability to deliver online training to students at an affordable cost.

We needed many features that were hard to find in SaaS based LMS solutions and WP plugins. Here's a list of features that pushed us towards LearnDash because it worked with our stack or is helping us upgrade it:

My biggest con is that this is a WP plugin and I'm hesitant to run mission critical software on WordPress. But since all the SaaS LMS' solutions were missing critical features, I decided to give this a shot.

We've used LearnDash in theme development and client projects.

Very easy to setup. Very helpful instructional videos included right inside LearnDash too. Nice features like groups, quizzes, and certificates.

Wish there was some built-in reporting for the site owner on the Basic license.

I have looked at a lot of LMS for WordPress and this one is by far the best for my needs. It has a very intuitive course builder. I like that I can reuse and repurpose lessons without having to write them all over from scratch. It also has a lot of integrated products that I needed for my courses and works with almost every theme out there. I like that the product is constantly being updated and the customer service is excellent.

So far I can't find a con, at least for my needs right now. I am still building out courses and it is working great

Overall, my experience with LearnDash has been wonderful. It is an easy-to-use tool that is the basis of our eLearning platform

- Ease of use and set-up

- Sometimes the features are a bit restricting

Lately I have been thinking that because I don't use the quizzes, etc. I could have skipped the whole LMS thing and just created pages or posts that link to the next. Luckily LearnDash is not too expensive so now that it is looking nice (thanks to custom coding), I will probably just stick with it.

Working with LearnDash is very easy. It works very similar to the other functions in Wordpress. You create a course, add Lessons and then Topics for each lesson. For example, the course could be about How to Be a Real Estate Investor. In that course, you might have multiple lessons like How to Flip Houses, How to But Rental Property, How to Finance Real Estate, etc.

Here's what I don't like. It's ugly. The user interface is plain and not very intuitive. You have to buy other add on's so users can do things like take notes, and so that you can begin to have an interface that looks better than native Wordpresss. In other words... ugly.

I help my clients build out on-demand and e-learning programs for their clients. I very much enjoy the experience of building out these programs using LearnDash.

I like the ease of use, the ability to make courses progressive or not, add quizzes at both the topic and module level as well as certificates upon completion. I also like that there are several plugins that have been developed to offer additional capability.

I have found that clients anticipate having a large user base in the future, as well as having a need to offer larger clients with multiple locations the ability to have administration capabilities at both the local and the corporate levels, which even the most feature-rich plugins do not offer as of yet.

We have used LearnDash to train new sales staff with great success. I found it easy to create the lesson structure, insert my videos and then develop short quizzes to make sure the team were all up to scratch. It's a great tool that I'm very happy with.

We decided to use LearnDash for our internal training, and couldn't be happier. It has a long list of features including quizzes and lesson timers, and it integrates perfectly into our existing WordPress site.

LearnDash may be a bit tricky to set up if you are not confident with WordPress plugins, but maybe this is your chance to learn!

Overall this is a great tool when you are creating tutorial courses.

A great tool that allows you to create an educational learning platform with videos, text, quizzes, etc. This tool also integrates with many of the big players such as MemberPress and BuddyPress.

We use builder tools that are currently not allowed to be used from within the LearnDash system.

Ease of use, scalability, customizability, support and customer service CAN'T be beaten!

There's a slight learning curve. Nothing too overwhelming!

If you want to turn your thoughts into a course you can sell this is the one for you. It's affordable and easy to set up.

Create your own course and charge for it. Easy to use course builder.

I have not experienced any problems yet.

I have completed online courses built with LearnDash and they were well designed and set up.

Fácil instalação.

It takes a lot of work to set up at first.

Considering that to get a site built for us it would cost $5,000 annual and we built it ourselves for less that $1,000 and $500 annually.

After watching a quick Youtube video on how to create a Learning Management Site. After that it was pretty simplistic to get started. It worked well and we were able to set up our courses, lessons, and quizzes. Everything was easy to connect and create a good flow for each product and lesson we were wanting to cover.

Some of the notification features didn't really work and we had to get additional plugins to complete the type of automation we were looking for.

I've built several online courses using LearnDash for WP

I can build any number of courses and plug them into my WordPress website. It's easy to use and flexible.

no cons. This plugin is easy to use and works great!

Has been easy to use software and set up an online course easily. Great customer support when needed.

Easy to set up and fantastic support if and when you need it.

Not too much at all - it has been nice and simple and if I get stuck I know I can rely on support for prompt and fantastic customer support.

I am looking at alternatives to LearnDash and will be switching soon.

Once you get your setup complete, the front end of the site looks and works great. You can integrate with Memberpress and woocommerce which is a plus.

Organization of courses and lessons is completely horrible and non existent. Trying to edit permissions for accessibility can be tricky as well.

This software is very easy to use and implement, in regards to actually getting it into Wordpress. Creating courses and content on LearnDash is very easy. The product is much more stable than its free competitors (in this case, LearnPress). Customer service team is VERY responsive, unlike some of its competitors.

However, we had to switch back to its competitor. Our web team reported that the product is not as theme-compatible/customizable as some of its competitors, especially when it comes to the eCommerce portion of selling courses via WooCommerce. Unfortunately this realization came after the 30 day mark, so we did not receive our refund for the year. However, otherwise their customer service was great.

The client needed the ability to have training for separate courses they were offering and LearnDash made it easy to set up and get going.

The software is easy to use and the documentation is pretty straight-forward it works well with WordPress. Its definitely one of the plugins I recommend to clients who want to host their own content instead of using an outside party. The price is also really good for what you get, which you can easily make back depending on how you price your offerings.

Though there is good documentation customizing certain features can be tricky especially if there is a conflict with another plugin.

I created a course 3 years ago and hosted it on Udemy. The course got great reviews from those who bought it, but the price I set for the course was $247 and Udemy has the ability to "discount" your course anytime they want. This allowed them to sell my course for $9. I did not want to promote my course for full price when the customer could go to Udemy and find it for just $9! I had no idea a program like LearnDash existed, and when I first found it I was skeptical that it could actually work as promised. To my very pleasant surprise, LearnDash not only met my expectations, but has blown me away! I would highly recommend LearnDash to ANYONE wanting to produce an online course. There is absolutely no reason to spend between $40 and $100 each month to host your course when LearnDash can do it all for a one-time purchase. Going with LearnDash is a no brainer.

Great platform that is robust and easy to use.

I have not found anything about the software I do not like.

The LD experience has been a great one. Easy to set up, course builder very intuitive, and was able to get my course structure built in no time. Best part of experience was [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] in client services- very responsive and owned my issue from start to finish. The dev team made my needs a priority, which made all the difference

Courses easy to set up

Came across module drip issue, but dev team was ON it!

I have been using LearnDash for almost 2 years. It is a great plugin for courses and the most recent update has made it even better.

I love the newest 3.0 update! It gives the interface a much better design and aesthetic. This makes it easier to navigate and it helps make LearnDash more user friendly.

It would be awesome if LearnDash came with a template for a user dashboard that we can just input to a page and direct people to.

Ability to assign courses to new employees but it's so hard to use and doesn't notify me when someone has taken a quiz.

I liked this program until I looked at other options. There are so many things that LearnDash could be able to do.

It is so complicated to use if you don't have a high grasp of wordpress. We are now switching to Edvance360 which is much more user-friendly and has so many more features. by LearnDash on 28/06/2018 HI Randall, I am sorry to hear that you are no longer using LearnDash. For future reference, there is indeed a setting to send notifications when a quiz is complete. It's an option when creating the quiz.

LearnDash is fairly easy to use, although we had to go through youtube videos to fully understand how to use it.

It's darn easy to use. I did have a few questions during my setup but the support team helped within a day.

LearnDash is easy to use, has many functions that I need and enjoy and the support is excellent. I highly recommend this software to anyone thinking about creating an LMS.

Can't think of anything meaningful or worthy to write here.

I love that LearnDash integrates with other 3rd party plugins and can be customized to meet the needs and objectives of my courses.

Turning in and managing assignments is a bit clunky...no native Google integration. Also, wish there were more question types available for quizzes.

Never got the change to see Learndash working (Luckily!!) Since the moment we finally got our course online there was a problem with login and logout. Once students/customers logged out they had to do the registration process over and over again. The support team needed 2 weeks (...) to come up with the solution. And yet....the problem remains the same, nothing changed.

To know exactly what I don't need or want from a plugin.

The time-consuming inefficiency for the need to switch from/between courses, lessons, topics, and quizzes. questions every single time. Yet the worst is customer support. I have been played for a fool for 2 weeks. by LearnDash on 11/11/2019 Hi Richard, We are sorry to hear that LearnDash didn't work for your project :( There was a conflict occurring on your website resulting in the reported behavior. Seeing as you didn't want to change the configuration, we issued a refund for LearnDash. Best of luck with your future course endeavors!

Owning the platform where my courses are living and not having to rely on a third party website for hosting and security.

I like that LearnDash is one fee and they don't take any % from sales. It's easy to implement and after reading through the documentation, it was easy to understand how to use.

For first time WordPress users it can be a bit of a learning curve, but the documentation offered by LearnDash is quite thorough.

For the price, I am very satisfied, as I said, it shows that they have thought the tool very well.

I bought 2 another WordPress LMS but ur system it's pretty all the e-learn community need . It have the taste of many time inverted very well to have a very impressive LMS.

Specially for my project: i need to have freedom to organize the quizes like topics, buy it have some restriction and put it the bottom.

My online video course just works and our members are able to work through the course with ease. Thanks, LD team!

I considered a few learning management systems to run wpmrr.com but in the end, it was an easy decision to go with LearnDash. I was not looking forward to the technical implementation of my online course, but LD made it so, so easy. Plus there's a great team behind it that cares deeply about your success as a user. I couldn't recommend highly enough!

I wish the support documents were a bit more robust and took edge cases into account, but overall I'm very happy with them!

I've been writing custom extensions for LearnDash for several years now and have absolutely loved the experience. The LearnDash team is helpful and knowledgeable. The LearnDash community on Facebook is warm and active. The code is easy to extend and customize.

No one, and I mean no one, knows more about e-learning than the people behind LearnDash. They focus everything they have on solving real problems for real e-learning site owners. If I have questions, not just about the product, but about e-learning in general, they are always my first resource.

Almost all of my critiques of LearnDash have been small usability and code based issues which are actively being resolved in the upcoming 3.0 release.

This product covers all the basics needed for an organization who has basic learning needs (e.g. tracking for compliance/basic on-boarding and product information).

This is one of the easiest LMS's to implement if you have someone in your team who knows how to use WordPress.

It doesn't have all the bells and whistles like a Moodle LMS but has all the fundamentals to give your workers an online space to learn on.

I installed Learndash to host and sell online learning videos. I run face to face training mainly and the online courses support that. It has worked well for me and I have been selling courses also for a few months. I have a feedback from at the end of my course and one of the questions is 'how easy is the website and course to navigate?'. 19 people completed the questionnaire last month (the first month), about 20% of users and they 18 scored it 5/5 and 1 4/5. So that says to me that the Learndash user journey and experience is really good. So overall I am really pleased and to be honest its amazing that such tech is available at such a good price.

It is just great value for money - what you get even as standard is really good. Loads of free plugins which are great. And I really like Notes and Private Sessions paid plugins. The support is also very good and genuinely helpful

The only tricky part was working out the plugins needed for user registration, but there is an excellent guide on line. Like with all Wordpress tech theres always a few different options and it takes a while to figure out what is best for you.

I am very happy with the product and excited to move my online courses to this product as the format will be much more professional!

Customer service with [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN], ease of use, and visual appearance are pros!

There is a learning curve for me being a psychologist rather than a programmer.

It gives us a lot of flexibility and mobility with their templates and let us build what we need for our learning modules.

I wish that they had more case studies available to show people out the gate. If there were more examples, I think more people would choose to use them.

Once I figured it out, publishing my courses became a quick, simple process. There are also a lot of tutorials that are quite helpful when they address the issue I'm searching for.

It does the job nicely without an overload of bells and whistles. One of the main things I appreciate is the great tech support they give and have given since I've been using this software several years ago.

As long as they keep helping me when I have issues, I'm very happy with it.

Untill now I am satisfied

Customer service is very impotent for me, that I don't feel stupid when I ask all my questions and I am very satisfied the the help I got from support so far, I think I have got fast help even with the time difference. I have a lot to learn about LearnDash, but it seams easy to navigate in. I am not an expert but I manage.

I just think that the dokumentation is a bit outdated, it could be better. But again did support help me.

I've been pretty hesitant before buying any LMS plugin. There have been an overwhelming number of options and it's been puzzling. After some clarifications with the LearnDash support team, I decided to go for this product.

Muitos recursos.

A few more themes would have been helpful, although the default theme is pretty decent.

What is not to like about this? Multi-tier courses, classes, teacher interaction, and a handful of gateways to round out this system. There are really too many features to list, and most of them are rounded really nicely. Customer support is quick and easy to work with, the cost isn't prohibitive as this LMS supports creating large projects, and the features feel like fully-realized and integrated aspects of a complete software, not just bolted on options on a lesser-thought-out plugin.

We ran into a compatibility issue with our event software. It ended up breaking the software, and we had to axe the event system we had put in place because we wanted to use this LMS over others. We also ran into a problem where we couldn't create a class online to register with, and then host the classes offline, manually entering a grade and pass/fail for in-person testing very well. Our specific use-case ended up being the one that this software couldn't handle.

Learndash is a creative and fun to platform to work with.

Simplicity, functionality and loads of avaliable plugins to add feature

Not that I dislike it but it is difficult in beginning to know whicht theme and server provider to choose and why it is so important to make the right choice.

This is something that was easy to get up and running quickly. It was useful in a project where the client didn't know what they wanted and couldn't articulate things to me. I was able to get this up and tweak things as needed to meet there requests after they were able to interact with it.

This LMS is easy to set up and is extensible. There are all sorts of plugins and add-ons you can use with it to make it meet your needs.

Sometimes you might encounter a particular question type or need that isn't supported. However, you can overcome this with add-ons or even creating something custom.

LearnDash support won me over to stay with them as my preferred LMS. Friendly experts who help you out when you need them.

The options for customizing the software is broad. Excellent support

I would like to see more options for adjusting what course content can be seen and not see before enrollment. Course registration needs to have options that are uncoupled from the WordPress user system.

LearnDash is a great software. What I like most is that there are a lot of updates to improve and to enhance the software. Especially I really like the fast and competent support if I have questions in regards to LearnDash. The support team does a great job and is always very friendly. I think, that is not usual nowadays in the business. So that is one point I really appreciate. I am looking forward for many years ahead of a successful business relationship.

So far, a minor point is that LearnDash could establish a holistic approach (what they are already doing) but to go further forward in this direction (e.g. user registration) that at the end, I only need some more plugins to get all the features I would like.

LearnDash is not only easy to use from an end user perspective but as a developer it’s easy to extend and integrate with other software solutions. We’ve integrated LearnDash with AppPresser so our users can easily set up iOS and Android mobile apps powered by LearnDash features, capabilities, and content. In other words you can easily create a members based LMS mobile app via plug and play. 😎

The only con is that we didn’t start integrating with LearnDash sooner.

Could not fault it

The flexibility of integration with WordPress, with WooCommerce and WPFusion

Nothing, everything is working like I need it to.

Good Software, easy to use even for beginners

We made a in-house LMS website with Learndash as the core. Its really easy to setup and use. The support team is very helpful. Although we tried most of all LMSes available in market which includes Learnpress, Sensei etc, I found Learndash much easier. Easy documentations too.

Certificate creation is kind of old school.

Customer service is fantastic and helpful.

LearnDash is easy to implement and maintain, even if you have limited experience with website technology.

I wish there was more detailed reporting.

Great overall feeling...and the focus mode is fantastic. It's seems like just what the doctor ordered for our needs.

Some functions might appear tricky at the beginning but nothing you can't solve with their fantastic customer support.

I am creating course materials and have found Learndash to be easy to work with and solving all of my needs so far.

I like the intuitive nature of this software and that it works with payment processors out of the box. I like that my theme software of choice (Astra) provides a good starting point and sop far very happy.

Nothing so far. I am still new to using it but don't expect anything will be an issue based on my experience to date.

Scaling up training across the organisation and for client support has been a breeze.

LearnDash is profoundly simple. The course builder allows you to build on the fly and brainstorm with a Team or simply dump ideas and then drag 'n' drop or add content to populate. So simple!!!

There's not much to not like. Learning some of the features to switch on or off was my only hold up.

LearnDash is the backbone of our Codeable Academy, and we use it to create helpful trainings for our 500+ developer community. In the past we would provide training and resources via a private forum or Google docs. But we didn't know how many users were consuming the information. Now we have full visibility on who has taken a course, how much of it has been completed, and what grades they received on the quizzes. As we continue to add more courses, we see LearnDash playing an integral part in the Codeable Academy, and we're proud to be using it.

What I like most about LearnDash is the ease of use to implement and setup courses. The training videos that are included inside the plugin made learning to use it and build the courses simple. The plugin itself works perfectly, and we didn't have any issues building our courses. Our users (500+ developers) have had no issues when taking the courses and everything works like a charm.

No complaints at all so far! When using an LMS plugin, you just want it to work without hassles or needing to contact support. And LearnDash provided a great experience start-to-finish.

We built the course outside LearnDash, which made it easy to plug it all in when ready. We have 400 people run through the course in the first month without any issues. We'll be building more courses into our community academy with LearnDash.

Simplicity. It's a straight forward product for both the student and the teacher, or the person developing the course. Does everything you need, but also stays easy enough to use without a bunch of clutter or options you don't need.

Can't think of anything, at one point we had a few students miss the mark complete button on a lesson but that's probably more to do with our design.

I had a small support issue, related to a builder that I was using, and both companies worked so awesome together to resolve the issues. This involved Learndash installing the builder, replicating the problem, and even going through the source code of the builder to share a different approach that would resolve the issue if implemented by the builder.

I love how easy the software is to customize and integrate into other systems such as woocommerce and membership type plugins.

I really do not have cons about the software.

If you have experience in WordPress, this platform is an incredible bargain and toolset. Most decent LMS options are developed for large organizations, and are priced accordingly (and by seat). For smaller companies or for situations where you don't want to pay per user (Customer facing training, etc.), LearnDash is a good option. It's pretty easy to setup and configure, and there are a bunch of add-ons and extensions that make it pretty powerful.

The only minor issues I have is customization. The simplicity of setup by using WordPress also means that you have a harder time customizing things to exactly what you want. Though, to me (and most of our users/customers) the default setup is typically pretty good anyway.

Learndash integrates with many other WP plugins allowing me to create a learning community for my clients. It was very easy to set up.

Very little. Of course there is always feature requests, but currently, LearnDash does everything I want and need it to do.

We are running online courses for professionals, slowly going from 100% classroom based to close to 90% online. Some lab-work must still be done on-site.

Having used other educational software earlier where you have to adapt what you want to do to how the software lets you do it, it is both refreshing and extremely rewarding to use a learning platform that tailors to you need, instead of the other way around.

It can be fiddly to set up a system built on open source where different plugins and software has to be 100 % compatible.

I've grossed over a million dollars using LearnDash.

It did what I needed 95% of the way I needed it done.

The current version wasn't available 5 years ago. It still had some growing to do.

We have a small CellPhone repair shop in Anaheim, CA.

Easy to setup, able to re-use different lessons for different courses.

Not able to create the lessons titles inside the course creation.

It’s the best online teaching platform.

We tried Thinkific and Teachable before we started using LearDash. Nothing compares to LearnDash. If you want to control your content and user experience, LearnDash is the best option.

Reporting tools could be better, now we are using a different plugin.

The two best WordPress LMS plugins are LearnDash and LifterLMS. It was a hard choice between the two. But we chose Learndash because of their easy-to-use API.

LearnDash has plenty of APIs to do all sorts of fancy things. For other LMSes, I had to write a lot of custom code to do what LearnDash does right out of the box. I also love how flexible LearnDash is. There's a lot of plugins that work alongside LearnDash.

There is a learning curve to setting it up. There's a lot of options. I also wish that Learndash does user management in a much more streamline way. Right now, you have to modify every user individually, or build a script to manage users.

I discovered how easy it was to create online courses. LearnDash has allowed me to expand my client base.

I'm a WordPress implementer. A couple years ago I was approached by a client who wanted to develop an online course for non-native English speakers to study for their certifications. I'd never developed online courses before so I had to do A LOT of research.

There's no support for multiple teachers per course. Lifter's frontend student dashboards are nicer.

Overall quality of finished workshops is superb, and students express enthusiasm. Originally my designer warned me, "This system is hard to learn, but you'll be pleased with the results. That's true.

The finished product. My workshops have exactly the components I wish: As many lessons per course as I wish, installing video and audio recordings, quizzes, and forums. Once I learned how to use the software, it leads to a superb product.

Over-designed! On the whole, from my perspective, LearnDash is difficult to learn; an upgrade has resulted in far too many choices. For example, used to be that I could easily upload a FILL IN THE BLANKS quiz. Learning the new method, with upgrade, was far more difficult. Each question takes about 6 extra steps, compared to one step previously. As an educator, I do find it offensive that it's supposed to be desirable to copy quiz parts and, apparently, crank out as many quizzes as possible. Why not make that a plug-in, rather than standard operating procedure for those of us who create quality workshops and prefer to not over-complicate.

I've used LearnDash a few times for clients who wanted to house courses on their own websites. My own pitfall with LearnDash is that it isn't very user friendly. Also, we still need to add a membership plugin to create memberships if we wanted to set up recurring payments and protect content that wasn't involved with the course. However, LearnDash is customizable enough that we could stay on brand without risk of confusing users.

It allowed me to create courses for my clients right on their websites without needing to use a 3rd party. So everything is housed and branded for them specifically.

It isn't user friendly if you're not tech savvy. There's a lot of room for growth on the design front. by LearnDash on 05/02/2019 Thanks for your review Anissa! At the time of this review we are currently finishing up LD3. This will greatly improve the templates/design for the front-end, and also make things easier on the back-end for those not as familiar with WordPress. We think you'll really like these improvements! :)

So far I'm liking the experience and just in a few days that my first course is live I'm almost breaking even on the costs already. Students seem to like it too and going through the course is easy and intuitive. Great experience so far!

It's easy to install and setup is pretty intuitive. It's easy to customize.

I had some minor issues related to design customization but support was quick and provided good solutions.

Unfortunately you must make an early decision if you wish to use the features of Learndash or create a profitable product. While LearnDash goes to great lengths to showcase their features. Once you attempt to use these outside of their limited sales pathway many will no longer be available to you. Using the features and scalable processes of woocommerce will remove many features that make Learndash at first glimpse and during superficial reviews attractive. Any experienced UX designers will understand that this is a huge issue. Any user will be disappointed if they can purchase a product not available to them. In many countries selling a customer a product not available to them is illegal and will expose you to legal issues. Very limiting for those wishing to make their product available or sale.

Suitable for small, internal, and experimental projects. Lacks the sophistication to create a large, scalable, and sellable products.

Unfortunately while it is possible to sell courses through woocommerce, doing so will remove the listed features of the learndash product. Most businesses will end up selling through woocommerce to unlock automations and the power of wordpress (ie adding customers to mailchimp, adding the sale to accounting software, directing a customer post sales path etc). Unfortunately once you make a product available for sale through woocommerce many of the listed product features fail. Most notably the course prerequisite feature. Users can purchase any course available in woocommerce regardless of any restriction or settings made in Learndash. by LearnDash on 13/12/2018 We are really sorry that our product didn't meet the specific needs of your unique use-case. We hope that you have found a solution that works for you.We wanted to address a couple points from this review since it contains misleading information that might confuse others:- Course prerequisites still work when selling with WooCommerce. Content cannot be viewed until all of the determined conditions are first met.-Using WooCommerce to sell courses doesn't expose a business to legal issues. If it is preferred that a product in Woo not be displayed until a prerequisite is completed first then this is indeed possible using LearnDash features.

We have lots of clients that are moving into the eLearning space. They typically have a wide range of needs that fall well outside of a "off the shelf" LMS. That's what's so great about LearnDash - our clients that need a simple solution and want to own their data, content, etc... can simply install and go. Our clients that need custom workflows, solutions and design we can layer functionality on top of LearnDash.

Structure in a way that it works well for any scale. We've used it on small, one course projects and projects with dozens of courses with unique workflows and needs. It's a great fit in all situations.

Nothing comes to mind, we've always found a way to make things work.

Used in a big extranet for thousands of employees

Provide all the features I need for my project.

Could be easier to use

We have been multiple Moodle learning systems and wanted to try this since it seemed easier to setup and use. It was easier, but ultimately took more time because of all the limitations in the system which we had to customize. Many features which are free in Moodle require paid plugins for Learndash and that was frustrating. The structure of the courses is not very intuitive and we had to make a lot of accommodations to work within the confines of the system.

It works with Wordpress so has a familiar layout to those familiar with Wordpress. Visually it looks good to the end user. Open source, so it was fairly easy to modify for our needs.

Seems limited when compared to Moodle and this is more expensive. The structure of the courses is pretty limited, for example you can't require only certain activities to be completed in order for a course to be marked completed, all sub-sections are required for completion.

This package is extremely easy to set up and use. Lots of really great features. However, I would recommend getting help if you need to set up buckets and templates.

I found creating and managing the quizzes not very intuitive. Also, no matter what I do, I cannot get the software to push out notifications when students have completed homework. I need to check it daily which is not ideal because it means I have to do a lot of digging to find what is outstanding.

I used LearnDash for WordPress for a few years now. It's well developed, feature rich, and stable plugin that integrates well with any theme. In LD you have a hierarchy of Courses->Lessons->Topics which can be utilized to develop easy to navigate courses. Quizzes are also a good feature. I18n is also great, they provide .pot files to translate to your own language if translation is not readily provided

Pricing model is quite awkward. I can't really find a good enough use case for a 1-site licenses vs pro 5-site license, unless I'm a developer/service provider

LearnDash enabled me to integrate LMS ability in my website, with so much flexibility to satisfy my basic/average needs. I was able to create online courses directly on my website without having to create complex integrations with standalone software

LearnDash is a product full of features that make it a great choice for many LMS systems, such as:

Being a WordPress plugin makes it less flexible in some cases. For example, creating vanity URLs might not be as straightforward as it is in other systems. Also, many LMS features are missing such as creating rubrics, which might be critical for educational organizations

I used LearnDash to set up a Learning Portal at my prior organization. it allowed me to deploy content to a large user base through the portal, while also allowing me to track our content being used in their xAPI compliant LMS systems and completions of content through our Help system.

Building a learning portal on WordPress is brilliant. The core features of LearnDash in creating courses is great. Good quiz engine and solid features for offering and tracking courses with clear progress indicators.

The most challenging parts of LearnDash are managing WordPress and Plugins. The challenge of adding more and more features with plugins is the administrative maintenance it requires. Users just need to be very clear that unlike using a vendor LMS that you just upload content, they must be prepared to get "under the hood" to maintain the system. This is common with professional WordPress Administration, but learning professionals who just used an LMS may not be clear on the fact that this does require some web administration skills.

I've been using this WP plugin for more than a year now. Used it as an alternative for Moodle. Overall as a LMS, its course and quiz builder are very easy to use. It has the basic functionalities you'll need to set-up your online courses.

The plugin and 3rd party modules are limited. Would be nice if they will have a larger library of extensions. Reports are also a bit limited to the basic ones

We've been working with LearnDash for a while now, and our clients have had great experience with the plugin. The features and extensions available, make it an ideal plugin to get your online training website started. The highlights would have to be the possibility to drip feed content, e-commerce support (through add-ons), TinCan API compliance, and the excellent customer support.

Support to Drip-feed Content, Ease of Use, TinCan API Compliance, Membership & eCommerce plugin integration, Customer Support

Quizzing Module, Documentation needs improvement
