This month’s featured customer is Reliablesoft, a digital marketing agency established in 2002. In 2016, Reliablesoft launched Reliablesoft Digital Marketing Academy, a training platform offering online digital marketing courses. Now, Reliablesoft Digital Marketing Academy is trusted by thousands of students who use these courses to get certified and improve their digital marketing skills. 

The Reliablesoft Digital Marketing Academy courses are suitable for anyone who wants to build the skills necessary to market their businesses on the internet. Just in the past month, the Academy saw 7600 registered students.

Reliablesoft chose LearnDash because they were looking for an LMS solution they could completely own, built on WordPress. LearnDash’s easy setup and out-of-the-box features provided them with everything they needed to launch an academy complete with community support, updates, and no revenue sharing.

Let’s take a peek at how Reliablesoft Digital Marketing Academy uses LearnDash to power its successful online courses. 

A variety of course offerings 

On the Reliablesoft Digital Marketing Academy landing page, you’ll notice a variety of courses and bundles offered right away. The Academy offers 13 courses grouped into three bundles. The courses cover topics related to digital marketing, SEO, Facebook Ads, Google Ads, Social Media Marketing, Content Marketing, eCommerce, Affiliate Marketing, YouTube Marketing, Analytics, and more.

When you click the Ultimate Bundle, you’ll see the variety of courses laid out in an attractive format. You can get a similar look by using LearnDash’s course grid add-on. With Course Grid enabled, you can: 

• Filter courses by category or tag
• Show/Hide course images or video previews
• Include a short description of your course
• Include a custom CTA button and price ribbon
• And more!

This feature makes it easy for visitors to scan your offerings and choose the courses or bundles that appeal most to their interests. 

Track Coursework 

Once enrolled in a course, the Reliablesoft Digital Marketing Academy includes a User Profile so learners have an easy way to track and manage their courses. 

From the profile page, users can:  

• View all enrolled courses
• Edit their profile information
• Jump back into a course where they left off
• View awarded points & quiz grades
• Access any certificates they have earned

The best way to include a LearnDash profile is to use the block (or shortcode) that comes with LearnDash. No additional plugins are required! You simply create a page on your site and insert the block/shortcode where you want the profile information to appear. And just like that, learners will easily be able to track their progress. 

Focus Mode for Increased Engagement

Once inside a lesson, the Academy uses Focus Mode to keep learners engaged. When you enable Focus Mode, the main navigation & footer elements are removed from the page. Course navigation is always visible in a sidebar tray, and course progress is always visible at the top of the screen. A “mark complete” appears as well to help track progress on each lesson page.  You can always exit the course easily in the top right navigation bar. 

Focus Mode aims to eliminate distractions & streamline the learning experience – increasing learning retention and completion rates. The lesson content itself is also optimized by using headers, videos, bullets, and call-out boxes all to promote learning and engagement.
