Instructor Role x2

Today we are pleased to let you know about a new third-party (premium) add-on that gives you additional possibilities for how you use LearnDash.

If you have ever wanted to allow others to create their own LearnDash courses on your site without having to use a WordPress multisite network or getting access to all of the administrative settings, then this add-on is your solution!

Specifically, this add-on makes it possible for you to have multiple instructors creating their own courses and managing their own students similar to sites like Coursera, Udemy, and Lynda.com.

The multi-instructor add-on was created by WismLabs and is available for purchase from their site.

Add-On Features

Course Creation Capability – Your instructors can create courses with unlimited lessons, topics, and quizzes. They can even administer their own certificates.

Assignment Management – Instructors can view, edit, download, and approve assignments of any student enrolled in their course(s).

Course Reports – Each course created by an instructor has its own report showing enrolled users and their progress. This report can be downloaded.

Email Students – An instructor has the option to email students who are enrolled in their course from their admin panel.

How It Works

Once installed and activated you will be able to add instructors. To create an instructor, simply create a new user (or edit an existing one) from your USERS menu and set their role to “Instructor”.

Now when this user logs into your site they will be presented with a custom admin panel where they can begin creating their own courses.

Where To Download

This is a premium add-on created by WisdmLabs and is available for purchase from their website.
