3.0 - The Most Effective WordPress LMS Plugin

3.0 is much more than an upgrade, it's an entirely new standard for online courses.

Within the software world it is possible to update software, and then there are game changers.

The latter is what we mean.

Following months of study in design, development and research You now can access the latest online learning platform available on the market. It's not only in WordPress, but across the entire field of e-learning.

3.0 (or 3.0 (or) is a fundamental change in the way courses online are taught and developed. This is long overdue according to me.

It's almost impossible to talk about everything that is new in LD3 (and we all know that you probably would rather just go through it for your own). But join me as I take you through some of its most notable features!

Courses that are visually stunning and learners are sure to enjoy and which help build your company a professional and well-lit image.

Here's a hard truth: you can have amazing courses but if the presentation is not up to scratch, it doesn't really matter. Course plugins for online courses and courses hosted by hosts are lazy (and sometimes irresponsible) when it comes to this kind of thing.

Or, the experience of visuals is not enough with text, or it is not contributing to an engaging learning experience.

Or, the templates are over-designed. They are crashing with other parts of the website and becoming too distracting.

Both scenarios are lose-lose. Your students experience a bad learning experience and your brand suffers for lack of professionalism. If you're offering courses then this could even cause higher refund rates.

      is LD3's solution to this delicate balance.      

We partnered with instructional design experts 3.7Designs to bring an experience for you unlike any other.

Each template has been made to let your content shine. It will it also helps retain your students engaged throughout the class.

The polished presentation gives you credibility and strengthens your reputation. What sets your course from the rest is the summation of "little things", like:

• Optimal course content display
• Intuitive and informative profile
• Clear tracking of navigation
• Multiple progress status points
• Clear success, information, as well as warning messages
• Simple material presentation

We've taken care of these (and lots more) for you!

Every visual element within LD3 is designed with a deliberate well-thought out design that will ensure both you and your students gain.

NOTE      
     If you are currently using  an older version of the software, you can activate the new styles by navigating to LMS > SETTINGS , and then selecting an option to activate the 3.0 template.

The time has come for our expectation of online classes to evolve. Focus Mode is the latest version. Focus Mode sets the bar higher.

My entire professional career has been working in the field of e-learning. It's been thrilling to see the evolution in this space throughout the years. I am convinced that this is the next technology will be the next trend in online learning.

We examined for weeks each of the popular platforms for courses out there including hosted options like Coursera and Teachable to other WordPress LMS plugins. We documented what they were doing well and the results were compared to current e-learning trends. In our research, we discovered a tremendous opportunity area that everyone has been missing.

And what's the result?

An exclusive virtual learning environment that's unrivalled in the e-learning industry. Students will be delighted (and it will make your appearance very attractive).

      We are introducing Focus Mode!      

Just by activating a single setting, you are able to enjoy this numbing experience that looks great and is simple to use. It was specifically designed to help increase both the retention of students and success rates.

In light of the growing role that mobile learning has in online education, we took the time to make sure that your lessons look as good on mobile devices, giving your learners a consistent experience no matter how they access your course content.

Our focus wasn't only on the experience of the course, but also the process involved with the journey to get to the location.

WordPress's WordPress plugin and theme ecosystem make it incredibly well-suited for online learning. Though despite all of the benefits of WordPress however, there remain certain issues.

The biggest obstacle could be user registration and log-in. We've addressed this issue in LD3 by enhancing the login and registration process. If you prefer to use the registration and login features and users are able to use this experience:

A simple, straight-forward way to log onto your website (or registration) to access a course. The colors and the logo in order to provide a consistent experience for your users.

The experience of learning in LD3 is at a different stage, as is the course creation process!

When we started the LD3 journey we asked you, our customers, to hear exactly what aspects you think could be improved by . Thank you to everyone of you who took to the phone to speak with us!

We wanted the brand design to simply be great. We wanted it to be the best, so we brought in some of the top UX/UI developers in the market: 10up.

Your feedback was taken into consideration and used it to design the overall experience for admins .

Although most of the settings have been reorganized and updated with more contextual details, the biggest adjustments are made to the quiz and course design procedure. We've revised our course and quiz builder to make them not just the best in the marketplace, but extremely simple to use.

      Drag and Drop, and Move-on      

The clean interface of the course creator in LD3 can have you spinning-up courses in a matter of minutes. If you have never created an online course before this course builder will make you feel like a professional in no time!

      Use Your Content      

is the only course builder that allows you to re-use your existing course content. No need to continually transfer lessons, quizzes or lessons to incorporate them into other classes. Simply select the information you require and drag it over.

      Create Topics, Lessons, and Quizzes with Ease      

The course builder has numerous layers. It allows you to add depth to your course content in ways which other platforms do not.

      Divide Content of Courses into Sections      

The course always has subjects, lessons and tests. The LD3 course has the possibility to organize your course by dividing the lessons into segments.

The most modern quiz engine just got even better!

Assessments are a crucial element of online classes. If your ability to take quizzes is limited then so too are your courses. But what good are advanced settings for quizzes in the event that you aren't sure what to do with these settings?

The capabilities for quizzes are in a class by themselves, however your comments pointed out that using these features needed to be easier. The updated quiz maker was the outcome of that feedback!

      Drag & Drop Quiz Builder      

When you've used this course maker, you'll be able to immediately use the quiz creator because the user interface is identical - drastically reducing the learning time!

      Reuse questions in the Question Bank      

Just like the course builder permits you to reuse lessons, the quiz builder allows you to re-use questions. However, if you want to develop new questions, you don't have to worry because we've got the answers!

      Create Questions Directly in the Builder      

Now you can easily add questions to the builder and modify their settings within the builder! First you select your desired question type:

When the type of question you want to ask is chosen, the settings will change so that you are able to start configuring your question!

Once your questions are completed and you are satisfied, you may include some additional results message options before moving onto your next question!

      Edit Existing Questions with Easy      

Are you looking to modify something on one of your answers? Don't worry, the Quiz Builder makes it a breeze!

      It's barely scratching the surface...      

There's so much that you can do with the quiz maker that I could write an entire piece about it by itself. It is true that it is a very efficient, yet nimble tool for creating quizzes at your disposal!

We'd like to see you begin exploring everything LD3 offers in the shortest time possible. Our Bootcamp as well as our new documents are able to help you with this!

Under the LMS tab > Overview there is the Bootcamp, quick and direct access to the tutorials as well as key aid articles, so you can get up and running!

Yes, support is directly available in the program!

Under the Bootcamp (which could be hidden should you wish) you will find helpful stories, information as well as access to the documentation.

      In the context of the documentation...      

A common oversight in an update that is of this magnitude is the fact that right away all the documentation is out-of-date. This process of updating everything is a enormous undertaking.

Personally, I consider the vast majority of manuals for software have the worst user experience. Often these sites are just all sorts of content piled on a webpage with minimal to none formatting. Although LD3 is fantastic but I don't want it to fall short since our help documentation wasn't as high of perfection.

It's not possible without you!

It wouldn't have been here if you all didn't trust the WordPress LMS service. I am continually amazed at the courses you create and suggestions you give. We thank you for selecting us, and for helping to make your course into what it is now!

In addition, I would like to take a moment to thank the talented folks who contributed to LD3 over these months:

• 10up has been praised for their UX/UI expertise
• 3.7Designs is known for its innovative (and truly amazing) designs
• Dave Warfel for his amazing documentation
• Joe Casabona who created the Bootcamp
• Muhammad Muhsin for helping to further customize the latest builders
• LD3 beta testers to help us in getting LD3 ready for launch
• We would like to thank our dev team for their ongoing efforts and dedication
