A course review and rating system provides students a platform to review course content. They can point out tough lessons, topics that need to be elaborated, and complex quizzes, to help instructors work on simplifying the content.
Positive reviews can help boost instructor morale and negative ones can help them improve. Ratings dual as a sort of gamification factor if you compare instructors based on them. Course ratings can be used as a metric to motivate instructors to maintain their courses and do better.

Student experiences are personalized and training outcomes are improved. Students enjoy learning and are happier with your platform.

eLumine 2.1.0 Update in 21 seconds
|
This version of eLumine adds a change to the LearnDash course layout. It makes the start course option intuitive by adding an explicit button on each course page. Once students signs up for a course, they’ll be able to see a “Start Course” button. This change makes it easy for new users to figure out how to begin their learning session.
As an e-learning instructor, have you ever wondered if you are leveraging your LearnDash LMS to its utmost potential? There’s always that thought at the back of the mind, right – how can I make the learning process simpler for my students? You try a lot of things, making the content more engaging, dividing the videos into bite-sized lengths, providing a ton of reference material, you name it. But the one thing you don’t focus on, and which is actually the threshold for your course, is course enrolment and registration management on your LearnDash website.
A lot of times, when it comes to choosing between two equally good courses, smoother enrolment processes and better registration perks clinch the deal. For instance, if a student has to sign up with his team for an introductory course in Physics, he would much rather prefer a course that allowed him to bulk enroll students than one where he had to add them individually to the list.
There are many such small hacks that can up your game in the e-learning world and make enrolment management much, much easier for you as well as the user. Take a look!
About a year and a half ago, we set out to create a course manager extension for LearnDash – the Advanced Course Manager plugin. We believed this extension could genuinely help LearnDash admins smoothen the course creation experience.
Along the way, we added features to improve user management too – functionality that was missing in LearnDash. We were happy with the product we had built and grateful for the community of users that helped it grow.
“Data is widely available. What is scarce is the ability to extract wisdom from it” – Hal Varian
We truly believe in having more than a vendor-customer relationship with you. We want to be facilitators in your growth process. That’s why we take the effort to think about functionalities that’ll ease administration and student management.
When it comes to LearnDash, there’s a lot of focus on course creation and student evaluation. While courses, lessons, quizzes can be created with ease, reporting needs a bit of help.
Student Groups are great when it comes to creating a collaborative learning experience. For universities, groups can be created for a particular set of students with the student guide as the Group Leader. Or, groups work perfectly in a corporate training environment with the manager as the Group Leader.
The Group Leader’s role is important here. They not only manage the students in the group but also need to check their progress. Reports offer several advantages. With course progress reports, Group Leaders can:
Up until now, the Wisdm Group Registration Plugin for LearnDash helped create groups, enroll students into them, and allowed Group Leaders to manage these students.
But with version 3.8, the plugin allows Group Leaders to generate student progress reports as well. Group Leaders can select a course, and then view the progress of each student belonging to the group.
Course Progress Report for Students in a Group
This feature can truly benefit Group Leaders by providing them with the much-needed insight on student course completion times.
If you want to empower your Group Leaders with the ability to make better training decisions, you need to bolster reporting options. Similar to the Pro Panel extension that helps LearnDash admins get a detailed report of student progress, Wisdm Group Registration for LearnDash is specifically built for Group Leaders.
The extension offers the functionality you can’t do without. If you have the plugin already, it’s time to upgrade to version 3.8. And for those who do not have the plugin, you know what you have to do 🙂 – Get the plugin, right away!
With this version, navigation across content becomes smoother than ever, to transform learning into a near book-reading-like experience — making eLumine the only LearnDash theme to offer such a feature. The swift-loading layouts present content in a butter-smooth fashion with one page loading after the other instantly.
As a student navigates from one lesson to the other, pages don’t get loaded every time and slow down the process. Instead, all content is loaded at once, and the content changes on the same page, making the theme faster and the user experience much easier.
Swift-loading improves response times, reduces student-wait time, and creates an enjoyable learning experience.
The collapsible sidebar opens up more area for the course content to offer a distraction-free reading experience. For those of you comfortable with the conventional layouts have to option to stick with the classic layouts (which offer boxed or full-width options).
eLumine 2.0 comes packed with a contemporary, never-before-thought feature for a LearnDash theme that makes reading easy – “Night mode”.
With Night mode, the colors of the theme automatically change to a warmer spectrum when it gets dark to help you read better in dim light. You’ve got options to control this setting to personalize it.
To improve accessibility, eLumine also offers the option to choose a bigger font on the front-end, making the content legible and clearer in appearance.
Most LearnDash themes allow the global font to be changed. That is, you can pick the font for the entire website. This was the case with eLumine before v2.0. But now, with the latest update you can choose the font family, font color, font weight, pick a different font for headings and paragraph text, offering you all round font customization.
You also have a sitewide font size selector to make it easy to increase or decrease the font sizes. This is a must-have feature for those of you seriously looking to make your site accessible.
For full control, this eLumine update provides additional filter and action hooks to modify the theme.
Most editors, page builders, WordPress plugins, and themes are built to support English or left-to-right languages. But did you know that nearly 300 million people speak RTL (right-to-left) languages?
That’s a huge number of people who don’t have a lot of options when it comes to building their WordPress website. For example, when it comes to LearnDash, less than a handful of themes offer RTL support.
Out of these themes, there’s one LearnDash theme that stands out and is better suited than the rest for RTL languages.
And that theme is eLumine.
Here’s a list of reasons why eLumine is better than the rest. Take a look.
RTL translation issue on LearnDash Compatible theme.
With eLumine we’ve made sure we offer total RTL support with easy options to translate every piece of content. You can seamlessly translate the theme files or use a multi-lingual plugin for translation.
For some users in the Middle East, communicating a support query, having support available and active at your desired time can be an issue.
But with eLumine, we guarantee quick support for frequent issues faced by do-it-yourself (DIY) users and RTL language speakers. Owing to the short time difference, eLumine can provide prompt support for urgent requests too.
eLumine offers compatibility with a majority of LearnDash extensions, and popular WordPress plugins like WooCommerce, BuddyPress, and bbPress. But more importantly, eLumine is compatible with leading page builders.
You have the option to use the page builder of your choice, the one that you’re comfortable with to help you build pages according to your needs.
In a world that’s dominated by English speakers, we’ve made sure to do our bit to create a more inclusive environment. We’ve taken the steps to make sure eLumine meets the needs of not just the major part of the world but also to other leading language speakers including RTL users.
We encourage you to try out eLumine, to get a sense of what this theme can do for your LearnDash website and users.

Pretty simple, but a must-have feature!
With version 1.2 of Group Registration for LifterLMS, admins now have the option to allow group buyers (or leaders) to enroll for the course they purchase – giving them the flexibility to be part of the group and the course.
Enrollment convenience, amplified! 🙂
“Keep innovating”
It’s something we believe in and something that drives us to make a change. Innovation is a process we follow to improve our offerings for your benefit. And that’s what today’s announcement is about. 🙂
The LearnDash Group Registration plugin has been creating a buzz in the e-learning space for a while now. The possibility to up the course enrollment game and make LearnDash corporate training friendly is part of what the Group Registration plugin offers.
As we keep on improving the plugin, we come up with updates that pack a punch, through minimal changes.
This new update is pretty big – not only because of the functionality it introduces but also because it meets the two most demanded features YOU told us about!
With this new version of the plugin, we’ve introduced a very important feature – one that improves the security of your LearnDash website – the member re-invite feature.
What the group member re-invite feature does, is that it provides a group leader the possibility to re-invite a member of the group, forcing the member to reset his/her password. Making sure members keep their password updated leads to a more secure experience, and is a must for corporate training setups.
The admin, of course, has the possibility to activate this option for group leaders. And, only those group leaders who have this capability enabled will be able to re-invite group members. A re-invited group member receives an email containing group details, their username, and a reset-password link. The LearnDash admin can customize this email template if needed.
A good user experience makes every product better; and with the next feature, that’s what you get.
A LearnDash Group is associated with a course or list of courses. While the list is known to people purchasing the course(s), and the students who’ve signed up for it, what was missing was a visual association of the linked courses and the group.
With the latest version of the plugin, the LearnDash admin has an option to enable the course list view on the group registration page. The admin can select a particular group and then enable this option to allow users on the frontend to view the list of courses associated with the group!
A simple change, but quite effective and integral to our efforts to ease user experience.
Course Author Management: Front End Course Creation for LearnDash allows you to create a Course Author role for your users, with special privileges. You can limit their back-end access so that the user can create and manage courses from the frontend itself.
Ratings Reviews and Feedback: You can get genuine feedback, comprehensive reviews, and honest ratings from your users for a course, with the Ratings, Reviews and Feedback plugin for LearnDash.
Advanced Course Management: A drag and drop course builder, enrollment management, better student-teacher communication and resume course functionality. These are some of the abilities of Advanced Course Manager for LearnDash. Need we say anymore?
Instructor Management: With Instructor Role for LearnDash, you can add Instructors to your LearnDash website, with capabilities to create courses content and track student progress. You can create multiple instructors roles and set commissions for the paid courses that they create.
Duplicate Content: Creating similar courses with just a click of a button! The entire course, lessons, and topics are duplicated and added to your LearnDash LMS, with Content Cloner for LearnDash. Content Cloner also allows you to duplicate groups and bulk edit titles.
Quiz Reporting: The task of exporting quiz responses and results for analysis at a quiz as well as a quiz taker level, is simplified by Quiz Reporting for LearnDash. With just a click, your results are exported in CSV or Excel format for easy downloads.
And then, there is the eLumine theme. A striking, course-centric theme with exciting layouts and LMS enhancing capabilities. eLumine has received high praise and will constantly evolve to suit our customers.
For the wallet conscious, buying this bundle adds up to 60% of savings. Take the case of Mark. Had he bought individual plugins from different vendors, it would have been a pricey affair. In a bundle, the discount is more and it is a significant difference. A 20% discount on a $99 plugin does not make much difference. But a $200 discount on a $1000 bundle of plugins implies higher savings.
The eLumine bundle is not just old wine in a new bottle. It is a carefully thought bundle of plugins that can add value to your website.
