3.0 - The Most Effective WordPress LMS Plugin

Sep 29, 2022

3.0 is more than just the latest version, it's an entirely new online course format.

Within the software world, there are updates, and there are game-changers.

The latter is what we mean.

Many months of investigation designing, development, and design You now can access the most cutting-edge online course platform in the marketplace. Not just in WordPress as well, but in the entire e-learning industry.

3.0 (or LD3) is a major transformation in the manner in which online classes are delivered and created. This is long overdue in my opinion.

It's almost impossible to write about all the features that are new in 3D LD3 (and lets face it, you probably would rather just go through it for by yourself). However, I will present some of the best features!

Visually impressive courses that learners will enjoy, and give your company a professional and well-lit image.

Here's a hard truth: you can have amazing educational content, but if its presentation is not up to scratch, the presentation doesn't matter. The online course plugins as well as courses hosted by hosts are slow (and occasionally reckless) when it comes to this kind of thing.

Or, the experience of visuals is too minimal with just text, or it is does not contribute to an exciting learning experience.

Or, the templates are excessively designed. Clashing with the rest of the website and becoming uninteresting.

Both scenarios are lose-lose. Your students have a poor education experience, and your reputation suffers for the lack of professionalism. If you're selling classes, this may lead to higher refund rates.

      The LD3 solution will help you find this delicate balance for you.      

We partnered with expert in instructional design 3.7Designs to bring the best experience in your course unlike any other.

Each template was made to let your content shine, but it also helps keep your learners engaged in your course.

A polished and professional presentation will give the impression of credibility and builds your reputation. What will separate your courses from the rest is the summation of the "little things" such as:

  • Optimal course content display
  • Intuitive and informative informational profiles
  • Clear navigation tracking
  • Multiple progress status points
  • Information, clear success and warning notifications
  • Simple materials presentation

We have taken care of these (and so much more) for you!

Literally every visual aspect within LD3 is designed with a deliberate, thoughtful design so that both you and your students gain.

NOTE      
     If you're using , after you have updated you can activate the new styles by navigating to LMS > SETTINGS , and then selecting an option to activate the 3.0 template.

It's time for the expectations of online courses 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 observe the changes in this space through the years. I am convinced that this is the next technology will be the next direction of online courses.

We spent weeks analyzing every popular platform for course creation available that hosts solutions, from Coursera and Teachable to other WordPress LMS plugins. We determined what the platforms were doing right, and contrasted this with current trends in e-learning. We discovered a tremendous opportunity area that has been missed by everyone.

The result?

A dedicated virtual learning environment that's unrivalled in the entire e-learning market. Students will be delighted (and it will make you look real good).

      Introducing Focus Mode!      

By simply activating a single setting you enable this distraction-free experience that is stunning and easy to operate. Focus Mode has been specifically designed to help increase both the retention of students and rate of completion.

And given the ever increasing role that mobile learning has been playing in education online, we took the time to make sure that your lessons look as good on mobile devices - giving students a seamless experience no matter how they decide to access your content.

Your learners can start the class on their laptops and continue where they left off from their phone. Your course continues to shine as a result of the Focus Mode delivery method.

But it's more than just efficient content delivery. The interaction with the students in Focus Mode is on another dimension. Students can switch in-and-out into Focus Mode for an enjoyable and smooth learning user experience.

      Most importantly, you can personalize everything in line with your company's style!      

Your courses are an extension of your business and your company, and we get that. We are sure you will be pleased to know that it is possible to personalize Focus Mode so that it will work with your brand!

This is inclusive of the table of contents, progress bars, Course navigation, Profiles, certificate downloads, and many more!

Choose your colors, upload your logo and within just a few minutes, you'll have personalized learning experience. No developer needed.

We didn't just focus on the course experience, as well as the steps that goes into getting there to the location.

WordPress's WordPress plugin and theme environment make it extremely well-suited for learning online. Even with all the advantages to WordPress, there are still certain issues.

One of those obstacles can be user registration or login. This is why we have addressed this in LD3 by enhancing the user registration and login process. If you prefer to use the login and registration features and users are able to use this experience:

A simple, straight-forward method for logging into your site (or signing up) for a class. The colors and design for this in order to provide a consistent experience for your users.

The learning experience for learners with LD3 is at an entirely different stage, as is the course creation process!

At the beginning of the LD3 project, we reached out to our clients, you, to learn about the aspects you think could be improved . Thank you to everyone of you who took to the phone with us!

We didn't want the new interface to be just good. We would like it to be the very best. So we brought in the best UX/UI developers in the market: 10up.

They listened to your comments and used it to design the overall experience for admins .

Though most configurations have been revamped and updated with more context-based details, the biggest changes come to the quiz and course creating procedure. We have rewritten our course and quiz builders in order to ensure that they're not just the best in the marketplace, but extremely simple to use.

      Drag, drop, and Move-on      

The simple interface of the LD3 course builder will have you spinning-up courses in minutes. If you've never made any online courses before, the course-building experience can make you feel like a professional quickly!

      You Can Reuse Content      

is the only course builder that allows you to re-use the course material you already have. There is no need to transfer lessons, quizzes or lessons to incorporate them into other courses. Simply select the information you require and drag it over.

      Add Lessons, Topics and Quizzes in a matter of minutes      

The course builder comes with multiple layers. This gives you the ability to enhance the depth of the content of your courses in ways that other platforms don't.

      Divide Course Content into Sections      

The course always has classes, topics, and quizzes. With LD3, you have the possibility of further organizing your class by breaking your lessons up into sections.

The most sophisticated quiz engine has just gotten better!

Assessments play a core part of online classes. If your quizzing capabilities are restricted, then neither is your course. However, what's the point of advanced quiz settings when you're not sure how to utilize them?

The features for creating quizzes have a place on their own. However, your feedback rightfully pointed to the fact that using these tools should be made easier. The updated quiz maker is the result of this input!

      Drag & Drop Quiz Builder      

After you have used the course builder, you will be able to immediately use the quiz maker as the interface is exactly similar - significantly reducing the learning time!

      Reuse Questions taken from the Question Bank      

Similar to the course builder that lets you reuse lessons, the quiz builder lets you reuse questions. However, if you want to create new questions then do not worry about it, we've got your back!

      Ask Questions Directly into the Builder      

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

Once your question type has been selected, your available options will be adjusted so that you are able to start configuring the questions!

If your query is completed and you are satisfied, you may include some additional results message options before moving onto the next!

      Modify Existing Questions using Ease      

Need to change something in one of your answers? No problem, the Quiz Builder makes it easy!

      And that's just scratching the of the surface...      

There's so much that you can do with the quiz maker that I could write an entire piece on it alone. It is true that you have an extremely powerful, yet intuitive tool for creating quizzes at your disposal!

We would like you to begin taking advantage of everything LD3 offers in the shortest time possible. Our Bootcamp and new documentation can help you do just what you want!

Under the LMS tab > Overview under OVERVIEW, you can find the Bootcamp fast and easy access to training videos and help articles so that you are up and running!

Help is right in the program!

Under the Bootcamp (which could be hidden in the event of a desire) there are helpful articles, news, as well as access to the documentation.

      In the context of documentation...      

One thing that's often forgotten in an update that is that is as large as LD3 is the fact that instantly all the documentation becomes outdated. The process of updating everything is an massive task.

Personally, I have found the majority of documents for software to provide the worst user experience. Most of these websites are an assortment of information thrown onto a page with little to none formatting. While LD3 is a great tool, I didn't want it to fall short because our help docs weren't up to that same standard of excellence.

is not possible without you!

It wouldn't have been here if you all didn't trust the WordPress LMS service. It is always awe-inspiring to see the content you design and suggestions you give. Thank you so much for selecting us, and for helping to make what you have now!

In addition, I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the gifted people that have helped LD3 throughout these months:
