Choosing the correct WordPress Learning Management System (LMS) plugin can seem very daunting. Whichever LMS plugin you choose, you will invest a lot of time adding course content to it. Your research process is worth your time. What to look for in a WordPress LMS Plug-in begins with knowing what you need.
You want your LMS plugin to be simple and structured. A good WordPress LMS comes with pre-made course templates that guide you in the process. This allows you to go live in just a couple of hours.
Some courses have features that allow retakes, assignment feedback & uploads. Assignment and Quiz Builder help you to evaluate how much your students are absorbing the material.
Certain LMS plugins allow you to send out test results and grades through automated emails.
There are LMS plugins that will compile reports on both your courses and students. You can view their progress, test results, and the time they spent on them.
This is an option that allows drip-feeding course material over the semester. It allows you to plan ahead and not have to worry about it later. Not all LMS plugins have this option.
There are several fantastic LMS Plug-ins. I will give a brief overview of some of the more popular LMS Plug-ins for you to compare with what you need.
