Learndash Pros and Cons
- Their ‘Focus Mode’ feature helps block distractions
- Comes with full integrations that supports third party tools to help you promote your online courses
- Unlike other platforms, Learndash doesn’t take a cut from your course sales
- Because it runs on WordPress, you’re expected to manage your own site
- Content access controls aren’t as robust
The thing I liked the best about LearnDash was the functionalities that the program has.
It was a little difficult setting up and getting Forums working.
Creating an LMS that has user-generated reports with statistics. The reporting was the main reason we wanted to use it, that and we wanted an LMS with a WordPress course we are creating.
LearnDash is easy for a beginner to get their courses up and running quickly and easily. It integrates with Wordpress, which is really nice for bloggers and companies already using the platform.
The analytics for course participants is lacking, in my opinion. It can be hard when you're trying to create a course that requires certain levels of participation for credit because it takes more time than necessary to pull and find data.
Providing self-paced online courses for our customer. This has been helpful because it offers a hands-off, digital option of the courses and lowers our overhead.
Great use for online courses and flow of content.
Support needs to be better, we have a lot of systems running at the same time and they blame another system for issues all the time when in reality it's LearnDash. It's like they don't want to help us sometimes.
This allows for easy tracking of clients through our online learning portal.
You pay once for the software and you have the opportunity to use is for unlimited courses. It integrates will with Wordpress, which is a great plus.
You have to host this on Wordpress, so if you're not comfortable using wordpress it will be a challenge. It can be a bit complicated to know how to put things in the right order, but if you take time to learn it, it becomes easy. Because it is self hosted, it is essential that you keep your website very secure.
Making money by selling your knowledge. I have been able to sell online courses and make additional income
has a lot of features but you have to be familiar with wordpress and web master to manage it.
Not user friendly. you have to be familiar with wordpress and web master to manage it. A regular user can't use this system at all.
