3.0 - The Top WordPress LMS Plugin

3.0 is more than just an upgrade, it's an entirely new standard for online courses.

In the world of software it is possible to update software, and then there are game changers.

It's the second.

Following months of study designing, development, and design - you now are able to use the most advanced online course platform that is available. It's not only in WordPress however, but throughout all e-learning industries.

3.0 (or LD3) is an important shift in how online classes are delivered and created. It's long overdue in this field according to me.

It's nearly impossible to write about everything that is new in the LD3 release (and let's face it, you'd rather be there and experience it for your own). However, I will present some of the most notable features!

Courses that are visually stunning and learners will love and that give your brand a professional, well-lit image.

It's true that you could have incredible courses but if the presentation doesn't impress, then it's not really a matter of. The online course plugins as well as hosted course offerings can be ineffective (and sometimes negligent) in this area.

Either the visual experience isn't enough, or it's just plain-text, and therefore does not contribute to an exciting learning experience.

Or, the templates are over-designed. The templates are competing with the rest of the site and getting uninteresting.

Both scenarios are lose-lose. Your students have a poor learning experience and your brand has a bad reputation due to inexperience. If you're offering classes, this may cause higher refund rates.

      LD3 solves this delicate equilibrium for you.      

We partnered with instructional design experts 3.7Designs to bring you a course experience like no other.

Every template is purposely designed to make your content shine. It will in the process, it will help to keep learners interested in the course.

Your polished appearance gives you credibility and strengthens the image of your business. The thing that sets your course apart from the rest is the summation of "little things" such as:

• Optimal course content display
• Concise and useful profiles
• Clear tracking of navigation
• Multiple progress status points
• Information, clear success as well as warning messages
• Simple materials presentation

We've taken care of these (and many more) for our customers!

Every visual element within LD3 is designed with a deliberate and thoughtful design to ensure that both you and your students gain.

NOTE      
     If you're using , then after updating you can activate the new designs by going to the Settings > LMS and choosing 3.0 as the 3.0 template.

The time has come for our expectation of online classes to change. The brand new Focus Mode sets the bar higher.

My entire professional life has been working in the field of e-learning. It's been exciting to observe the changes of this field through the years. I believe that the coming technology will be the next direction for online course delivery.

We examined for weeks every single popular course platform that was available that hosts solutions, from Coursera and Teachable to other WordPress LMS plugins. We took note of what these platforms were doing right, and compared this against today's technological trends in online learning. In our research, we discovered an immense opportunity field that everyone has been missing.

And what's the result?

A dedicated virtual learning environment that is unmatched across the world of e-learning. The students will be thrilled (and it will make you look really nice too!).

      Introducing The Focus Mode!      

By simply activating a single setting, you can enjoy a distraction-free experience that is stunning and is simple to use. Focus Mode has been specifically developed to improve the retention of students and rate of completion.

In light of the growing role that mobile learning has been playing in education online We took our time to make sure that your course content looks as great on mobile devices, giving students a seamless experience, no matter what device they choose to use the content.

Learners can begin the class on their laptop and then continue the course the place they left off using their mobile. Your material continues to shine as a result 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 stage. Your learners can jump in-and-out of Focus Mode for an enjoyable seamless learning user experience.

      The best part is that you are able to customize it in line with your company's style!      

Your course is an extension of your business and your brand, We understand this. You will be happy to learn that you are able to personalize Focus Mode so that it will work with your brand!

It includes content tables as well as progress bars, courses navigation, profiles as well as certificate downloads and more!

Select your color, add your logo, and in minutes you have a branded learning experience. No developer needed.

The focus was not just on the course experience, we also considered the journey involved with the journey to get on the class.

WordPress's WordPress plugin and theme ecosystem make it incredibly well-suited for online learning. However, despite the many benefits of WordPress it is not without few issues.

The biggest obstacle could be user registration or login. We've addressed the issue with LD3 with a better login and registration process. If you choose to utilize the login & registration capabilities and users are able to use the following experience:

Simple, easy procedure for signing into your site (or registration) to take a course. The colors and logo for this in order to offer a consistent user experience.

The experience of learning in LD3 is on another dimension, as is the process of creating courses!

At the beginning of the LD3 project, we asked our customers to hear exactly what aspects you think could be improved by . Thank you to everyone of you who jumped on the phone to speak with us!

We wanted the brand new interface to be just great. We would like it to be the very best. So we brought in the best UX/UI designers out there: 10up.

They took your feedback and used it to shape the whole admin experience .

Though most settings have been organized and updated with more contextual information, the largest changes come to the quiz and course creating procedure. We've revised our course and quiz creators in order to ensure that they're not only the most advanced available, but also also user-friendly.

      Drag, drop, and Move-on      

The clean interface of the course creator in LD3 can have you spinning-up courses within minutes. If you have never created an online course before, the course-building experience will make you feel like a pro within a matter of minutes!

      You Can Reuse Content      

The only tool for creating courses which allows you to reuse the course material you already have. There is no need to transfer lessons, quizzes or lessons to reuse them in different classes. Select what you want and drag it over.

      Create 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 many platforms overlook.

      Divide Content of Courses into Sections      

The course always has lessons, topics, and quizzes. The LD3 course has the option to further organize your class by breaking your lessons up into sections.

The most modern quiz engine just got even better!

Assessments form a major part in online course. If your quizzing capabilities are restricted, then neither are your courses. But what good are advanced quiz settings when you're not sure how to utilize these settings?

The quiz capabilities have a place on their own. However, your feedback rightfully pointed out that using these features needed to be easier. This new builder for quizzes was the result of your feedback!

      Drag & Drop Quiz Builder      

After you have used the course builder, you'll know immediately how to use the quiz creator as the interface is exactly identical - drastically reducing the learning curve!

      Reuse questions from the Question Bank      

Similar to the course builder that allows you to re-use courses, the quiz builder lets you reuse questions. However, if you want to develop new questions, don't worry, we have your back!

      Answer Questions directly in the Builder      

Now you can rapidly add new questions, and modify their settings inside the builder! First you select your desired question type:

When the type of question you want to ask has been selected, your available settings will change so that you are able to start configuring the questions!

When your question is complete and you are satisfied, you may make sure to add some results-related messages before proceeding to the next one!

      Edit Existing Questions with ease      

Need to change something in one of your questions? Don't worry, the Quiz Builder will make this a breeze!

      It's barely scratching the top...      

There is so much you can do in the quiz maker that I could write an entire essay on it alone. It is true that you've got a robust, yet simple test engine right at your fingertips!

We would like you to begin taking advantage of everything LD3 offers quickly as you can. Our Bootcamp and new documentation are able to help you with what you want!

Under the Bootcamp (which could be hidden if desired) you will find helpful articles, news, as well as access to the documentation.

      Speaking of documentation...      

Something that is often overlooked when doing an update as big as LD3 is that immediately all of the documentation becomes outdated. It is a process to update everything. is an massive job.

Personally, I have found the majority of documents for software to provide a poor user experience. Most of these websites are an assortment of information thrown on a webpage with minimal to no format. As great as LD3 is however, I did not want it to fall short because our help docs weren't as high of quality.

cannot be achieved without your help!
