Hello everyone I am stuck in a bit of analysis paralysis while creating online courses for social media marketing.
Since I work with WordPress and need payments and other integrations to be linked to the courses, Learndash was suggested as an LMS. However, in contrast to EdX openware, I have not found many comments or reviews about Learndash’s performance or if the $180 upfront investment is justified.
I would want to have Storyline and all of the stuff, but money is not available. My market is selective, and many of the other open-source/less expensive options, like Moodle, will not work because of their cheesy interfaces, which look especially bad on mobile devices.
I’ve been using LearnDash for a few years and have no complaints. If you’re familiar with WordPress, you’ll find it very intuitive. However, I eventually moved all my courses to Canvas because LearnDash lacks a robust grading system (though that may not be an issue for you).
I’ve been using LD for a year, and I’m satisfied with it. While it’s not flawless, it’s the best LMS for WordPress that I’ve used so far. Keep in mind that if you want to use certain authoring tools, like H5P, you’ll need an LRS, which costs around 180 euros annually.
I recently spoke with someone using LearnDash, and he absolutely loves it. Although I don’t have his contact details at the moment, it’s working great for his team of over 1000 employees. I’m not sure about your budget, but $180 seems like a relatively low cost for implementing an LMS.
To start, do you need a learning management system (LMS) or an authoring tool? The LMS manages and stores your content, while the authoring tool assists in creating the e-learning materials.
LearnApp is useful, although I believe it is a bit expensive. The quality of the content is excellent, but the tactics taught in the videos are not exclusive. You can also find similar videos on YouTube.
