This makes it easy to host our content and makes it easy for students to find it. > > **Cons**: It is a little challenging to set up, though there is a support desk and a Facebook group where we can ask questions. The only con is that sometimes it takes a little longer to get a reply. > > Excellent. Once I learned how to set up my first course, I was able to easily set up additional courses. Over the past few years I've set up 30 courses on Leran Dash... my students love how easy it is to find content and I love how easy it is to set up the courses and the lessons. ----- ### "Perfect LMS plugin for online schools materials" — 5.0/5 > **Filip** | *4 February 2024* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Modern design of lessons and modules with bunch of options to create different leqrning experience for different types of lessons. > > **Cons**: Better dashboard overview is not included in basic learndash licence. Reports for quizzes could be better. > > Great LMS plugin for wordpress with simple design and options to embed every type of education material. ----- ### "Best WordPress Plugin for Courses\!" — 5.0/5 > **Anissa** | *10 September 2019* | Graphic Design | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the newest 3.0 update\! It gives the interface a much better design and aesthetic. This makes it easier to navigate and it helps make LearnDash more user friendly. > > **Cons**: It would be awesome if LearnDash came with a template for a user dashboard that we can just input to a page and direct people to. > > I have been using LearnDash for almost 2 years. It is a great plugin for courses and the most recent update has made it even better. ----- ### "The most flexible online LMS platform for small to mid-size schools, organizations, and businesses" — 5.0/5 > **Robert** | *10 May 2021* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Because it's based on WordPress, LearnDash not only comes with a lot of customization settings out of the box but plugs into a huge community of themes and plugins that can take your design and functionality practically any conceivable direction\! > > **Cons**: Some third-party developers created low-cost add-ons that didn't provide as reliable of a codebase as the core LearnDash software. Stick with reputable developers for third-party add-ons such as those mentioned on their website. > > LearnDash has been a very helpful tool for many of my clients, whether it was small colleges looking to take courses online, teaching organizations providing Continuing Education Credits, or individual experts looking to take their classes online. ----- ### "LMS Management for Online E-Learning Course Catalog" — 5.0/5 > **Will** | *22 December 2021* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Learndash is incredible easy to get up and running. I loved how easy it is to create courses, add lessons and quickly get a catalog of content up and running. I was transferring courses from pages and posts that I had manually created, and moving to LearnDash allows me to move and work so much faster, plus it's alot easier for students to navigate. All of my content is videobased and their video progression features and integrations with Vimeo are amazing. The ability to remember your location in a video so that when you come back to it, it's there waiting for you-is a feature that feels like it should cost, much, much more. > > **Cons**: Initially I had purchased LearnDash and asked for my money back, because I felt like it was too focused on being a solution for higher ed. I didn't need certificates, or quizzes, or homework uploads, just the ability for students to watch video lessons. But.. after digging in the second time, I realized I don't have to use all of those things. While there are alot of features, I don't have to use those. > > Overall, LearnDash has made managing a large catalog of content (50 + courses) very easy. I can quickly add courses, and the quality looks great. The features I get with video lessons, feel like custom developement and something I paid ALOT of money for, but they are included for free. ----- Page: 1 / 12\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/77478/learndash?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/77478/learndash) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
