3.0 - The Most Effective WordPress LMS Plugin
3.0 is more than just an update 3.0 is a brand new online course format.
In the realm of software There are updates and there are game-changers.
This is the latter.
Following months of study designing, development, and design - you now have access to the latest online learning platform available in the marketplace. Not just in WordPress, but across the entire field of e-learning.
3.0 (or LD3) is a major change in the way online classes are delivered and created. Long overdue for this industry according to me.
It's nearly impossible to talk about everything that is new in LD3 (and lets face it, most of you would prefer to experience it yourself). But join me as I show you some of its most notable features!
Courses that are visually stunning and learners will enjoy, and give your business a professional, refined image.
Here's a hard truth: you can have amazing educational content, but if its presentation is lack-luster then the presentation doesn't matter. Online course plugins and courses hosted by hosts are lazy (and often negligent) in this area.
Either the visual experience is not enough with simple text and is therefore it is not a contributing factor to an enjoyable learning experience.
or, they are over-designed. Clashing with the rest of the website , it becomes to distracting.
Both scenarios are lose-lose. Students have a bad learning experience and your brand suffers for lack of professionalism. If you're offering programs, it could cause higher refund rates.
The LD3 solution will help you find this delicate equilibrium for you.
We partnered with instructional design experts 3.7Designs to bring the best experience in your course unlike any other.
Every template is purposely created to help your material shine. It will it also helps retain your students engaged throughout the course.
Your polished appearance gives credibility to the image of your business. What will separate your courses from other courses is the culmination of "little things" that make a difference, such as:
- Optimal course content display
- Concise and useful profile
- Clear navigation tracking
- Multiple progress status points
- Information, clear success and warning notifications
- Simple materials presentation
We have taken care of these (and so much more) for you!
Virtually every aspect of visuals in LD3 has an intentional well-thought out design that will ensure you and your learners both gain.
NOTE
If you're currently using , then after updating you will be able to enable the new styles by navigating to LMS > SETTINGS and selecting an option to activate the 3.0 template.
The time has come for our expectations of online courses to change. The new Focus Mode sets the bar higher.
My entire career been in the field of online learning. It has been thrilling to witness the growth within this area over the years, and I believe that the coming technology will be the next trend in online learning.
Our research took us through each of the popular platforms for courses that was available that hosts solutions, from Coursera and Teachable to other WordPress LMS plugins. We documented what they were doing well and contrasted this with current technological trends in online learning. In our research, we discovered an immense opportunity field which everyone is missing.
And what's the result?
A virtual learning experience that's unrivalled in the world of e-learning. Your learners will love it (and it'll help you look very good).
The introduction of the Focus Mode!
Just by activating a single setting you enable this distraction-free user experience that is beautiful and easy to operate. The Focus Mode feature has been developed to improve learner retention and course completion rates.
And given the ever increasing importance of mobile learning in online education We took our time to ensure that your courses look just as great on mobile devices - giving your students the same experience regardless of how they choose to use your content.
Learners can begin the course on their laptop and pick-up where they left off from their mobile. Your course will continue to shine because of the Focus Mode delivery method.
However, it's not just an optimal delivery of content, the user-experience of Focus Mode is on another dimension. Students can switch in-and-out from Focus Mode for an enjoyable seamless learning and experience.
The best part is that you can personalize everything in line with your company's style!
Your classes are an extension of your business and your company, and We understand the importance of that. You will be happy to know that it is possible to customize Focus Mode so that it will work with your brand!
This is inclusive of the table of contents and progress bars as well as course navigation, Profiles certificates, downloads of the course, and more!
Select your color, add your logo, and in minutes you have a branded learning experience. No developer needed.
Our focus wasn't only on the experience of the course, but also the process that goes into making it to the course.
WordPress's WordPress plugin and theme environment make it extremely well-suited for learning online. Though despite all of the benefits of WordPress, there are still certain issues.
One of those obstacles can be user registration and login. We've addressed the issue with LD3 with a better authentication and registration procedure. If you would prefer using the registration and login features the users will experience the following experience:
An easy, straightforward way to log to your website (or registering) to access a course. It is possible to customize the color and the logo in order to present a consistent user-experience.
The experience of learning in LD3 is at a different dimension, as is the process of creating courses!
At the beginning of our LD3 process, we asked you, our customers, to learn about the areas you thought could be improved by . Thank you to everyone who answered the phone to talk with us!
We weren't looking for the new interface to be just good. We wanted it to be top-quality, which is why we brought in some of the top UX/UI designers in the world: 10up.
Your feedback was taken into consideration and put it into the entire admin experience of .
While almost all of the settings have been reorganized and updated to include more relevant details, the biggest adjustments are made to the course and quiz design procedure. We've rewritten our courses and quiz builders to make them not only the top of the line in the marketplace, but extremely simple to use.
Drag, Drop and Move-on
The clean interface of the Course Builder in LD3 will have you spinning-up courses in minutes. If you've never made any online courses before, this course builder will have you feeling like pro in no time!
You Can Reuse Content
It is the only program which allows you to reuse the course material you already have. You don't have to constantly transfer lessons, quizzes or lessons to use them in other classes. Simply select the information you require and drag it onto the screen.
Learners can add topics, lessons and Quizzes in a matter of minutes
The course builder comes with multiple layers. This allows you to enhance the depth of your content that other platforms don't.
Divide Course Content into Sections
The course always has classes, topics and tests. In LD3 you now have the option to further organize your class by breaking your classes into parts.
The most sophisticated quiz engine is now even more powerful!
Assessments are a crucial element in online courses. If your quizzing capabilities are not sufficient, so will your learning. But what good are advanced quiz settings if you don't know how to use them?
The capabilities for quizzes have a place of their own, but your feedback was rightly pointing at the fact that making use of these features required a simpler approach. This new builder for quizzes was the outcome of that feedback!
Drag & Drop Quiz Builder
When you've used this course maker, you will be able to immediately use the quiz maker as the interface is exactly the same - significantly decreasing the learning curve!
Reuse Questions from the Question Bank
Like the course builder, which lets you reuse lessons, the quiz maker permits you to reuse questions. If you have to create new questions then you don't have to worry because we've got the answers!
Answer Questions directly in the Builder
It is now possible to easily add questions to the builder and set their settings right inside the builder! First you select your desired question type:
Once your question type is chosen, the options will be adjusted so that you are able to start configuring the questions!
If your query is completed, then you can add some optional results messages before proceeding to your next question!
Edit Questions Already Answered with ease
Are you looking to modify something on the answers to your questions? It's no problem. The Quiz Builder makes this a breeze!
It's barely scratching the surface...
There is so much you can do in the quiz maker that you could easily write an entire piece on it alone. The bottom-line is that you have an extremely robust, yet simple tool for creating quizzes at your disposal!
We would like you to begin exploring everything LD3 can offer as quick as possible. Our Bootcamp as well as our new documents can help you do just that!
Under the LMS tab > Overview there is the Bootcamp rapid and simple access to tutorials and key assistance articles to ensure you're up and running!
Help is right within the software!
Below the Bootcamp (which is able to be concealed if desired) there are helpful stories, information and access to documents.
In the context of the documentation...
Something that is often overlooked during an upgrade of this magnitude is the fact that instantly all the documentation is out-of-date. The process of updating everything is a enormous job.
Personally, I have found the majority of software documentation to have an unsatisfactory user experience. Most of these websites are a bunch of articles thrown onto the page, with little to no design or. As great as LD3 is, I didn't wish it to be a disappointment since our help documentation wasn't at par with that level of perfection.
It's not possible without you!
We wouldn't be here if you all didn't trust to use WordPress LMS provider. I'm always amazed by the content you design and ideas you share. Thank you for choosing us and for making the course what it is the way it is today!
In addition, I would like to take a quick moment to express my gratitude to the gifted people who contributed to LD3 over this time:
