Introducing the WISDM Instructor Role for LearnDash

Imagine going down memory lane and revisiting the bond you shared with your teachers.

They made learning super easy, fun, and interesting, didn’t they? 🙂

But, today, learning is pretty much online.

And, while a popular LMS like LearnDash provides a great space to create multiple courses, lessons, quizzes, manage students and kickstart your eLearning venture. However, doing everything on your own is an impossible feat.

But, more importantly, the factor that adds significantly to the success of your learners and your business depends a lot on – The Student-Teacher relationship.

And, these thoughts and feedback received from several LearnDashers like you have led us, at WisdmLabs, to build an Instructor Role plugin. This introduces an Instructor/Teacher to the LearnDash LMS.

Excited? 😛 Awesome….. let’s dig in!

Unboxing the WISDM Instructor Role for LearnDash

This add-on provides an Instructor User Role. 

At its core, the plugin allows you to add multiple Instructors or Teachers who can create their own courses (lessons, quizzes, assignments, topics, etc.), teach, grade, and manage their students.

Moreover, this gives you an opportunity to delegate the course and student management responsibilities to your Instructors. 

But, here’s the real takeaway – You end up saving loads of time and energy that you can use to focus on other vital aspects like marketing, growth, etc. of your LearnDash website.

So, in a way, this extension brings you a lot closer to fulfilling your dreams of building and running an online school, college, or even a Udemy-like Course Marketplace.

And, while we’re at it, let me walk you through its peculiar features!

Key Features of the Instructor Role plugin for LearnDash

1. Create Unlimited Instructors to develop quality courses – You can rope in as many instructors you like to create multiple courses. Each Instructor with their subject expertise will be able to develop and offer quality courses. 
2. Hassle-free management – Instructors can only manage students enrolled in their courses. And, if the course is huge, you can even assign multiple Instructors to a single course to ensure smooth and systematic management. 
3. Easy Payments & Tracking of Commissions – Set a fixed percentage commission for paid courses for each Instructor. You can directly send the payments to your Instructors’ PayPal account. In addition, the plugin automatically calculates the commission earned on every course purchase and saves you the efforts. 
4. Access to student reports to improve class performance – Your Instructors have access to student reports in order to monitor their students’ performance and accordingly design actions to improve the same. 
5. Alert Instructors with Email Notifications for student activities – Set email notification triggers for different student activities such as course purchase, quiz completion, etc. to keep Instructors notified at all times. 
6. Direct emails to improve student-teacher communication – Your instructors can talk to students enrolled in their course(s) via email. They can share updates or quick feedback with students about their performance. 
7. Limited access to Instructors for site security – Instructors have limited capabilities and access to make sure they don’t interfere with your LearnDash settings or view courses by other Instructors. The ultimate power regarding courses and changes lies with you. 
8. Dedicated Instructor Dashboard for easy management – Your Instructors will get their own intuitive dashboard where all the details about their courses, students enrolled, commissions earned, student reports, etc. will be easily accessible in a click. They won’t bother you with small details anymore. 
9. Udemy-like Instructor Profile page to build credibility – Your Instructors can create their professional profile page and add details such as their photo, expertise, qualifications, courses created, achievements, and plenty more. These Profile pages will give them an opportunity to showcase their personality and credibility. 
10. Sell courses to create a Udemy-like website – You can sell individual, multiple, or bundled LearnDash courses created by your Instructors. This extension seamlessly integrates with WooCommerce to help you sell courses easily and quickly.

And, with that being said, let me quickly sum up the major benefits the Instructor Role has in store for You and your Instructors.
