Requirements & Challenges

Therapy Team had a vision as clear as a crystal. They wanted to supercharge their LearnDash LMS, aiming to create a digital learning environment that was as immersive as it was effective. 

They sought to integrate LearnDash with their existing website and introduce customizations around Theme, LearnDash Quizzes, and Assignments.

However, implementing these changes was a complex task. It needed to be user-friendly, efficient, and capable of maintaining website performance during the update. The system had to be robust enough to handle any load.

The challenge was to create a system that could handle these changes efficiently. Therapy Team needed a solution that would streamline their operations and improve the learning experience for their students, majority of whom reported wanting a more interactive and engaging online learning platform. This was the challenge they brought to us.

Our Solution

The client needed our help in optimizing their LearnDash LMS for coaching Physical Therapists and Physical Therapists Assistants in taking their boards.  We had to provide customizations around the theme, assignments, quizzes and relevant integrations for the Live Webinar.

So, we went with the following approach:

LearnDash Customization

  • Theme Customization – We switched to the Social Learner Theme for LearnDash for powerful learning features.
  • Instructor Customization – We created a custom feature for the assignments, where the instructor can provide feedback on the assignment.
  • Disable Copy Content –  Since the client wanted that the content on the website should not be easily copied, we disabled the option to select or right click.

 

LearnDash Integration

  • Live Webinar Integration – We created a custom integration between LearnDash and their existing website for online live seminar course
  • LearnDash App Creation – We created an application to support their existing website
  • API Integration for LearnDash App –  We customized the mobile app to achieve the desired user flow

 

Final Result

  • Modified approach for assignments  – Added a custom feature that was in line with the client’s approach
  • Theme customization – Fashioned a custom theme that aligns perfectly with organization’s vision
  • Mobile App – Developed an app to support the client’s website and increase accessibility
