What it does
Running courses on a school or training website usually means stitching together a design, a learning system and a way to take payments. This theme brings those pieces into one place. Instructors build courses from the front end with a drag-and-drop builder, so they can arrange lessons, quizzes and assignments without writing code. Students get profiles where they manage their accounts and track their progress, and the site can sell courses through built-in payment gateways.
It suits an institution moving its teaching online or an independent provider launching a course catalog. Multiple course layouts let you choose how courses are displayed to match your branding, and an admin dashboard handles courses, users and analytics from the backend. The design is responsive and retina ready, and the theme is multilingual and RTL ready for sites serving audiences in different languages. It also works with popular plugins such as WooCommerce and WPML.
Best for
- Universities and colleges offering courses online
- Independent online course providers selling eLearning content
- Training organizations serving multilingual or RTL audiences
