Yes. It is that simple 🙂
In addition, eLumine also features Neo layouts that have enhanced UI, better graphics, a butter-smooth experience, and full compatibility with LearnDash 3.0.
With that being said, eLumine will definitely have you all set with a strong base for your LearnDash LMS.
But as they say, the devil is in the details. It takes just a little more effort to create a full-fledged e-learning school and classes. And, that’s where our add-ons come into play.
The LearnDash Essentials Add-ons Pack (LEAP) – Add life to your e-school
LearnDash lets you set up lessons and courses which is a good start. But, creating a great learning experience is a whole different ball game.
And, to do that you’ve got to extend the functionalities of your LearnDash LMS.
So, we’ve curated the vital ‘must-haves’ and bundled them into a heavily discounted LearnDash Essential Addons pack! (LEAP)
The next section explores the plugins in this bundle and how they can help you elevate your LMS.
1. WISDM Instructor Role – Easily add multiple Instructors
A brick-and-mortar school has different teachers/ instructors teaching subjects they have expertise in. With Instructor Role, you can replicate the same format virtually.
It lets you add multiple Instructors or teachers who can create, setup, and manage their own courses and lessons. This empowers your teachers and significantly reduces your workload.
In addition, the Instructor Role also:
- Allows you to delegate course and student management tasks to Instructors
- Lets you restrict Instructor access to the LMS settings
- Provides Instructors with dedicated dashboards to create courses, review student assignments, etc.
- Automatically calculates and tracks Instructor commissions as per the terms decided by you and the instructor
- Empowers you to review and make changes to all the content
- Enables you to assign Instructors as Group Leaders
Having said that, there’s also a fun feature that you can leverage to increase your course signups – The instructor Profile Page.
You can smartly use this page to display all the information related to your instructors such as their photo, bio, expertise, qualification, courses created, ratings, and so on.
With the WISDM Instructor Role plugin in your artillery, you’ll be able to add as many Instructors/Teachers for your online school.
2. WISDM Group Registration – Bulk enroll students into courses & increase course signups
It’s the group management tool of your dreams.
This Group Registration plugin allows you and the group leader to bulk enroll students into a particular course.
And, in doing so, you can save a great amount of time and effort. Plus, a group is automatically created when the user purchases a course making that buyer the group leader by default. So, you don’t even have to put in efforts for that.
Here’s a quick example to give you a clearer perspective.
Let’s say Sarah teaches 5th grade. And she wants to enroll them in a ‘science for the 5th graders’ course.
Now, she could collect everyone’s information, fill out details, and enroll each one individually and keep track of endless email addresses, invoices. Well, this would require loads of energy and time.
Or, Sarah can just use Group Registration instead to bulk enroll all the kids and save all the hassle. As a group leader, Sarah can also :
- Add or remove learners.
- And, track the progress of every kid easily right from the front-end.
Hence, with the WISDM Group Registration plugin in your kitty, enrolling students in courses will look like a walk in the park.
3. WISDM Content Cloner – Duplicate course structure to get started ASAP
Anytime you wish to clone course content, this is the perfect tool to do it the smart way.
WISDM Content Cloner replicates the complete course hierarchy with course lessons, topics and, quizzes. All you have to do is replace the existing content with your content and you’re new course is ready.
By cloning courses the smart way, you’ll save tons of time and energy. Moreover, you can even rename the cloned course titles at once in bulk. It’s a smarter way to quickly create LearnDash courses.
4. WISDM Quiz Reporting Extension – Detailed quiz reports for actionable insights
A quiz is a traditional way to test your student’s knowledge and understanding of the lessons.
That doesn’t change when it comes to an e-learning environment. But with your students studying remotely, you have no way to monitor their learning process.
So, their quiz results become a huge indicator of their progress.
And, to help you do that, the WISDM Quiz Reporting Extension helps you generate detailed reports for the quizzes you conduct.
Using this plugin, you can:
- Generate and export reports per student on a per-quiz basis or for all students on a per-quiz basis.
- Get better insights into student performance with advanced reporting
- Let Instructors and students access and analyze quiz statistics and response
- Plan and take actionable steps to improve course structure or teaching method
With that being said, we highly recommend these plugins to run your online school and classes smoothly and smartly.
