LearnDash

All the basics covered with a great interface

製品を使ってみた感想： So far, there hasn't been anything missing from LearnDash. We were able to launch our online learning program in just a few days. The learning curve was easy to overcome and we were able to get all of our content online with no problems. Each time we were stuck on something the documentation was able to steer us to the right answer and the one time we needed to reach out to support, their response was quick and helpful.

良いポイント:

We purchased LearnDash to integrate with MemberPress. Because of this, we do not use any of the payment, membership, or subscription functions in LearnDash. We use it exclusively to present courses, record quiz scores, and provide certificates. For those tasks, LearnDash is the perfect tool. The tools to build your content are drag and drop simple and the management tools are easy to understand. Integration with WordPress core functions and with the MemberPress system are flawless and we never had to tinker with them. Just installed the LearnDash plugin and got to work. A highlight was the "Focus Mode" feature for the actual learning environment. It provided a clean, good looking interface for our students and took exactly zero time to tweak. We just flipped the switch and had a great looking online classroom tool. If we want to hire designers later to build us pages that are more branded, we can. But Focus Mode allowed us to launch faster, with a better looking product, for no additional cost.

改善してほしい点:

Student reporting is adequate, but a little unimpressive. There are reports that can be downloaded, but there is no real dashboard to track student progress.

A proven and robust tool to create and deliver educational courses

製品を使ってみた感想： We've used this for a new course we recently created and it has been working well for our students. They provide video training and solid documentation to help get going. It can be confusing at first, and we've had to adjust our course as we've gone along and learned, but once you get used to how it works then it's fast and simple enough.

良いポイント:

The fact that it's used by large universities in Florida, Michigan and Washington gave me confidence that it is reliable. We like how easy it is to create new lessons and assign quizzes to them. The add-on library is fairly large to help expand its capabilities. It's a popular tool with a lot of resources online to help learn how to make the most of it. There are a lot of built-in options for tweaking how it works.

改善してほしい点:

It is somewhat complex to use compared to other options. That's partially because it provides so many options. You have to put some time into it to get it setup how you want and understand how it works, so it's not as fast to get going with as some other services would be. It could use more question types for the quizzes. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to view all of a student's essays and quiz answers on one page, however there are custom-made plugins that help with this.

User Experience is Dated, Not worth time investment

製品を使ってみた感想： I spent about 20 hours installing this plug-in and trying to set it up in WordPress before I stopped and decided to go with Teachable, which is another LMS platform. I was paying $30 a month for LearnDash but it’s not at all worth $30 a month. The support was poor and the user experience felt like the plug-in itself hadn’t been updated in a very long time. If I was using it for free I would’ve thought it would’ve been worth it, but to pay monthly for it is not worth the amount of time and energy that it took me to set up basic functions .

良いポイント:

The reason I purchased the software was because it integrated with WordPress. I had already built my courses on WordPress and I wanted to add additional features like tracking my students and providing a central hub where all my students courses would be available and providing them with a progress bar to help them have a more visual way to progress through their courses.

改善してほしい点:

This is really not a software it’s a WordPress plug-in. I use multiple word plus plug-ins that are excellent. This WordPress plug-in is not worth the money. The amount of work that requires you to do just to get your course set up is enormous. I already had my courses fully developed and it was not easy to install the plug-in and have the features that they promised.

Best LMS Solution for Wordpress

良いポイント:

The ease of setup and effective end-user adoption. Apart from that it has almost every aspect of LMS covered using its feature rich add-ons.

改善してほしい点:

I would say the premium price is the only con here if you compare this with something like Learnpress or Moodle.

Review of LearnDash

製品を使ってみた感想： It took me a long time to really come to terms with the complexities of the L-D LMS. It would have been better to offer a very basic L-D LMS template to make it easier for non-techies like myself.

良いポイント:

I'm a non-techie and LearnDash seems to be a good LMS. After encountering problems early on, I eventually managed to understand the basics.

改善してほしい点:

Insufficient awareness by the coprorate office of the extreme challenges of the L-D LMS for non-techies. [I started using it in 2018]

Great customer support, product needs some improvement

製品を使ってみた感想： I am an open online Chinese course provider. I used to develop an entire course using our own software, based on Moodle. It worked quite well, but I thought using a plug-in might be the smart move since I want to also optimize the quizzes and courses for SEO purposes. This turned out to be not so easy, in fact, it might make the URL structure much more chaotic than it is if you simply use a "normal" SEO strategy separating the blog content and the free course content. Almost all my customer support requests lead to the conclusion that I will need to hire a programmer to solve the issue. I definitely see more flexibility with moodle, if you have the knowledge to set up a server and run the moodle there.
If you are someone who is just starting up alone, or with very little technical understanding, LearnDash would definitely be the right choice. but I think if you grow bigger, you will probably need something that can fulfill more purposes.

良いポイント:

What I love is the customer support. I have encountered some issues and have always had a great experience with customer support. Especially one employee [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] went a long way to make sure my problem was solved. Though the problem stayed as a default setup, she truly made it easy to keep using the solution. The customer support overall is amazing. For anyone who has a standard e-learning idea, I think LearnDash is the product to go for BECAUSE of the customer support.

改善してほしい点:

I understand that e-learning products are all quite troublesome due to database issues - it is indeed a sophisticated industry. However, I still have to say LearnDash is not very intuitive to use, especially when you have a concrete idea of how to set up your course. It has an overall extremely complicated URL structure, which makes SEO hard to achieve. And there is no option to make it shorter. Each course creates a line of subcategories, followed by lessons with the same subcategories. And then when you finally reach the quizzes, you simply have a long URL and you have no other way to change that. This is only one of the smaller things that you can't change. Also, it's not possible to insert a page to describe something, followed by a question within a quiz.

This is my recommended LMS for my customers

製品を使ってみた感想： The fact I recommend this LMS says it all—a great product and add-ons. Don't hesitate if you are researching/deciding on an LMS for WordPress.

良いポイント:

LearnDash is my go-to choice of LMS for my WordPress customers. One customer in particular had a complex set of requirements, of which LearnDash was able to deliver. With some customisation and add-ons, we have a fantastic LMS solution. Even out of the box, for simpler solutions this product rocks. The LearnDash support team are amazing, especially Shalom, who has been incredible support. Support teams make or break a product after sales.

改善してほしい点:

Once you understand the Groups/Users assignment hierarchy ( especially for UI shortcodes ) you are rolling. That element took some head-scratching, but, with great support ( see above ) it's all clear.

a good learning management system

製品を使ってみた感想： good experience with some problems of compatibility with other plugins

良いポイント:

i like ho easy is to build the course from scratch

改善してほしい点:

many features and customizations are demanded to other softwares

Affordable and reliable LMS

製品を使ってみた感想： Couldn’t fault Learn Dash, and we don’t even use half of the functionality that’s available within. We’ve used Learn Dash for over two years now and don’t plan on moving away from it anytime soon.

良いポイント:

Learn dash is a very flexible LMS plugin, and in comparison to a number of other LMS’s we tried, Learn dash is compatible with all other components within our tech stack.

改善してほしい点:

There aren’t any learn dash negatives that I could comment on.

Good Software, Bad at Ranking on Google

製品を使ってみた感想： Good experience with the software, bad experience with Google ranking.

良いポイント:

It's easy to use, has quizzes which is so important for online courses.

改善してほしい点:

I'm using BuddyBoss with LearnDash. For some reason. none of my pages are ranking in Google. This hasn't happened with any of my other sites.

Very useful and professional software

製品を使ってみた感想： I use it to build courses, deliver courses to public and private agencies and organizations

良いポイント:

Professionalism, beautiful interface, course management features, topics, tests, certification. The number of sortcode pongs is rich, making it easy to choose from when it comes to creating custom pages.Integrates well with a large number of other software based on wordpress.This is a platform that offers very good online courses.

改善してほしい点:

course packaging function, I have a hard time transferring a course to another system or importing a course from another system

The best LMS I have ever used

製品を使ってみた感想： LearnDash is undoubtedly the best learning management plugin I ever used. Easy to configure, organize your course, include tests, offer options for certification.One thing that also stands out is the easy integration with other plugins and payment gateways. I love LearnDash

良いポイント:

I like everything about LearnDash, it is easy to configure and your courses will be well organized.

改善してほしい点:

I can't fault this plugin, it would have be a bit hard for a beginner but the tutorial videos provided solved all that.

Learndash is a great LMS

製品を使ってみた感想： I use Learndash for all my LMS websites. Learndash offers a great amount of features that allow me to customize the website to my clients and my needs.

良いポイント:

The features and functionality of the Learndash is outstanding.

改善してほしい点:

The learning curve is a little steep but once you start to figure things out it becomes easier.

The best platform I know - but far from perfect

製品を使ってみた感想： My overall experience is pretty good. Support helped me a lot in the past, though they seem to be not as caring anymore as they once have been. The product is very solid and serves basically all needs one can imagine. I tried some LMS systems, I liked LearnDash the most. Thus, I definitely can recommend the Plugin. :)

良いポイント:

LearnDash is powerful for course creation from A to Z. The course creation possibilities are huge. Everything is flexible, but not too flexible. They are veeeery well integrated with plenty of tools out there. This is very important. They play especially well with BuddyBoss. Thus, I can recommend using both together. BuddyBoss improves the ok design of LearnDash to a brilliant maximum! I like it a lot, and I am happy to be a long-term LearnDash customer.

改善してほしい点:

Social learning, interactive learning, and mobile experience are not brilliant. I hope to see improvements in these areas. The mobile experience got improved during the last few months, but social learning and interactive learning are still not enough built-in. They offer h5p integration, which is good, but a native solution would be better. Social learning is basically nonexistent. The only way is to encourage comments on the course page, but that's it.

WordPress great LMS

製品を使ってみた感想： My experience with LearnDash has been great, the product is solid and the support has been always great.

良いポイント:

In groups, you can accommodate users in a group and then add courses to that group, this will make every user start the course exactly at the same moment, so helpful for drip content. Drip content, LD can send emails depending on the user's actions, lesson availability, or quiz results.

改善してほしい点:

Not a strong report system. Not a strong discussion system between tutors and students (you need 3rd party for that). Lack of notes-taking module (you need 3rd party for that).

Web Designers Saving time

製品を使ってみた感想： I LOVE IT! I will be using it with all my other clients

良いポイント:

the ease of use and getting support quick

改善してほしい点:

You can use more customization elements

A Fully-Featured Learning Management System (LMS)

製品を使ってみた感想： Our experience with LearnDash has been excellent. Before purchasing a LearnDash license, I was a little skeptical about how effectively this LMS software would improve the sites on which we offer courses and other protected content. After about 5 months of regular use, I believe the software does live up to the hype.

良いポイント:

For our online courses and membership site, LearnDash' Quiz functionality has been particularly helpful. The ability to create quizzes with different question types (single choice, multiple choice, sorting choice, etc.) quickly and easily adds to our productivity and is one reason why we are able to retain our customers who attend these courses and/or sign up to our membership site.

改善してほしい点:

There was a bit of a learning curve at the beginning, but the LearnDash knowledge base is more than adequate in helping the average user overcome early challenges with the software. We use LearnDash on a membership site - although the LearnDash LMS was able to protect the content, we found this functionality somewhat limited for what we wanted on our membership site and decided to purchase a separate membership plugin, i.e. Restrict Content Pro - this plugin works well with LearnDash.

Woocommerce and Product Feature not compatible.

製品を使ってみた感想： 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. Purchase with care. Not as seamless presented throughout the presales marketing.

良いポイント:

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

改善してほしい点:

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.

LocallyHost.com LearnDash Review

製品を使ってみた感想： Relatively easy integration and administration especially being used with Buddyboss.

良いポイント:

Gamification to quizzes and progress tracking - This addresses the main motivation and needs for us to consider an LMS

改善してほしい点:

The limited licences pricing structure - Learndash LMS licences structure does not include an option for unlimited website licenses. This would have been a wonderful value for us.

Makes providing an Online Learning System easy

製品を使ってみた感想： Excellent. I've implemented Learndash in numerous installations without issue.
Training is straight forward and a cinch as well.

良いポイント:

- Ease of deployment - Feature-rich - Numerous plugins available - Community Support

改善してほしい点:

- Pricing could be better - Documentation could be more in depth, especially when it comes to customisation

Highly recommended LMS plugin for WordPress

製品を使ってみた感想： I discovered how easy it was to create online courses. LearnDash has allowed me to expand my client base.

良いポイント:

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. For that project, I decided on LifterLMS and I still do most of my online course development with Lifter. I'll go into why in that review, obviously. But LearnDash has certainly come very close to feature parity with Lifter. There are only a few differences in terms of functionality. Lifter's add-on system can be confusing to explain to a client whereas LearnDash is easy to sell. There are some specialized features for teams that are only available on Lifter, however. The smart course creation tool is very very good. If you're worried about how to build a complex course with video and text, don't be. LearnDash makes it easy. But LearnDash IS multisite compatible and Astra Pro, a popular WP theme, provides built-in support. Another bonus is that LearnDash has a free version to get your feet wet, available on the repo.

改善してほしい点:

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

Good plaform without useful features.

製品を使ってみた感想： Learn Dash is a good platform to provide courses to students, but it does lack several needed features to create a proper marketplace environment. It is even limited to create subscriptions without third party software involved.

良いポイント:

Easy to use lessons system. Drag and drop building. Easy to integrate with DIVI. Pretty student user interface

改善してほしい点:

Lacking a proper tool to create quizzes. Does not provide a good environment to create a LMS marketplace. Instructors are not capable to keep trace of their income, sales, etc.

The Best and Professional LMS Plugin

製品を使ってみた感想： My overall experience with LearnDash is really awesome because now I am selling more courses on my website.

良いポイント:

If you want to create online courses on your WordPress website then LearnDash is really a professional plugin for you. Because this plugin allows you to build a course website within few minutes.

改善してほしい点:

You can create and share courses on your website using LearnDash without any kind of cons and issues. There are no negative points.

Very grateful to rep , who has delivered exceptional support, by far the best help desk service!

製品を使ってみた感想： 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. I do want to give a shout-out to the support team. Rep has given me exceptional tech support, and I can't imagine a more helpful, knowledgeable, kindly guide to the mysteries and complications of LearnDash.

良いポイント:

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.

改善してほしい点:

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.

Solid LMS Package

良いポイント:

I started tinkering with LearnDash a few years ago but never launched my initial product. However, I kept my license active and watched as the LD team continued to upgrade and refine the product. I'm very much a DIY developer and I love that this full-featured package allows me to run a very sophisticated LMS system off of WordPress. The Notifications Add-on fills in a missing piece and enables me to create subscription content wit email notification of timed course content.

改善してほしい点:

When setting up notifications, it's necessary to manually specify a recipient. If you miss this, nobody will get the email. If "user" was the default recipient, you wouldn't have to double-check in most instances. And in the list of notifications, this would be a great setting to be able to change in bulk or at least see in the dashboard without having to open each notification. Also, while I'm able to do this with shortcodes, I'd love to see a header and footer template for email notifications, and maybe even a visual builder.
