What it does
Many instructors find the WordPress admin area confusing, and site owners often prefer to keep teachers out of it. This add-on gives them a separate editing space on the front end of the site. From there, instructors can build new courses, update existing lessons and quizzes, and adjust course settings. Because the work happens in one place, small fixes and ongoing course improvements are easier to handle, even for people with no coding background.
The editor uses a drag and drop interface built with React JS. Instructors move elements around to shape courses and lessons, add images, videos and other media, and check a live preview before publishing. Course options such as quizzes, lessons and profiles can also be configured from the front end, and material files can be attached to course content. It requires LearnPress and suits schools, training businesses and course marketplaces that rely on several instructors.
Best for
- LearnPress sites with multiple instructors
- Online schools wanting teachers out of the admin dashboard
- Educators without coding experience who build courses
