@birv2 In that case, I have been pleasantly surprised. #LearnDash is one solution we use, which we gravitated towards as an organization because it had WPMU support. However, you might find one of the other solutions of more interest - https://www.mguhlin.org/2022/05/update-on-choosing-lms-bryanalexander.html

I have to admit that if the WPMU support had not been a thing, I might have opted for WP Courseware. That said, LearnDash has been great, too.

Hey #WordPress wizards, I’m a #Freelance #developer looking for a payments solution that will allow a client to be paid and pay creators on their learning platform simultaneously (something like a 20% 80% split) without them having to interact with or distribute any money themselves. Any ideas? I haven’t done payments much in the past and I’m not sure where to start. It’d be super cool if it integrates with #LearnDash or some other #LMS as well!!!

PRONOUNS
Allow me to share this perspective as a Panamanian who was raised in the Canal Zone and then came to the United States when he was 10 years old to attend private, Catholic schools until high school graduation. It was a sheltered upbringing, by design of course by loving parents. Still, I want to be clear about something often taken for granted.

I cannot support hatred of individuals. I do not accept skin color or LGBTQ+ as a reason for poor treatment of other people. This has never been more needed, especially in education and online spaces like this one, given the level of hate and bias.

Being who you are should not result in blind bias or hatred. I reject that and the frames that people have adopted that result in such hate.

As a Latinx who grew up in the Republic of Panama and then Texas, I have my own perspective.

My own identity as a cisgender (he/him/his), a bilingual/bicultural speaker, a person caught between two cultures, I have not suffered the slings and arrows of bias, prejudice that I can only ally with, including #Black #LGBTQ+ #IndigenousPeoples.

Since I speak and write in Standard English, I enjoy a level of white privilege due to my skin color (from my Swedish father) and my last name (“Guhlin” is Swedish, not Latino), I know that my life experience does not give me the authority to speak in more certain terms.

So, I offer my perspective in this space in a tentative way, and hope that I can learn with and from others.

@ed_beck @lightweight @8petros @mackiwg Ed, while I don’t disagree Moodle (everything plus the kitchen sink kind of experience) offers many features that heighten interaction, my experience with #LearnDash (and what I’ve seen of it’s competitors) is that adding interaction is a plug-in away.

For adult learning not in a “I must take grades setting, but I do need to safeguard an institution’s intellectual property since I’m selling it to users”), a Wordpress-based LMS offers sufficient features.

Of course, my point is simply that it’s worth exploring. The needs of the organization and those it is serving are the deciding factors. Not every problem is a nail in need of a hammer like Moodle, which is still in wide use and beloved.

@8petros @lightweight I have been quite pleased with #LearnDash, with about 68 courses and over 2,000 users. Linode has worked well as a host for Wordpress instance.

So the #LearnDash course enrolment problem immediately recurred the *moment* I asked another person to beta test for me.

I am >< this close to asking for my license to be refunded, even though I use LD at work and love it to pieces.

Ok, fingers and toes crossed, but I think I may have solved the problem that was stopping #LearnDash adding new subscribers to the courses they purchased. Gonna see if it replicates...

Friends, do I know anyone here who is a capable #LearnDash programmer/dev/consultant? I have a stupid problem that LD tech support can't seem to fix.

@mackiwg @aus_teach @stevefoerster Wayne, sounds great. And it makes sense for you at OERu. WPMU was one of the reasons why we went with #LearnDash but who knows what else we might have done without that requirement. Since we sell courses, we needed the LMS. Otherwise we could have used anything. #ntt

Anyone else out there using #Wordpress (yes, I know you are but wait for it) #LearnDash product?

Working for #TCEA nonprofit education, I was looking at how to put courses online, and ran across #LearnDash as a Wordpress-based Learning Management System (LMS).

I wrote about LMS switching and choices available some time ago. https://www.mguhlin.org/search/label/LMS

Now, I'm happy to point to my "finished" product and be grateful. https://courses.tcea.org

I was thinking, wow, this would be a great way for schools to get into this, albeit with a few caveats I'm going to explore in an upcoming blog entry. For now, I'm just hopeful to find others using LearnDash and have someone to knock questions around with. Since it may come up, "Do you recommend using LearnDash as a Wordpress-based LMS in lieu of more expensive LMSs?" My response is, "Yes." 🙂

Well, it's been a multi-month journey, but I'm happy to say, "Wow, got about 54+ courses moved into a new #Wordpress -based LMS" from our current solution. I am looking forward to seeing how it all works to the benefit of folks. Anyone else using Wordpress-based LMSs? I wrote a blog entry about them awhile back when I just starting down this road... https://www.mguhlin.org/2022/05/choosing-learning-mgmt-system.html #LearnDash #WPCourseware #Education
