'Six Weeks to Knitting Scarves'\u009d is a lot more descriptive and goal-oriented than 'Basics of Knit and Purl Stitches for Beginners,'\u009d even though both courses could include the same lessons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, you need a website with a <\/span><b>learning management system<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (LMS) to store, organize, share, and secure your course content and to let your students (and you) track their progress. You&#8217;ll also need a way to take tuition payments from your students, and your LMS will provide that. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Best LMS Plugins for WordPress<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a WordPress site, there are several LMS plugins you can choose from. Three of the most popular are Sensei, LearnDash, and LifterLMS. Let&#8217;s look at each of them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-20423\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/sensei-lms-plugin-for-woocommerce-1024x514.png\" alt=\"sensei lms plugin for woocommerce\" width=\"640\" height=\"321\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/sensei-lms-plugin-for-woocommerce-1024x514.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/sensei-lms-plugin-for-woocommerce-300x151.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/sensei-lms-plugin-for-woocommerce-768x385.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/sensei-lms-plugin-for-woocommerce.png 1734w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>1. Sensei<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/woocommerce.com\/products\/sensei\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sensei is WooCommerce&#8217;s LMS plugin<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which means it&#8217;s set up to make taking payments easy. This is especially convenient if you&#8217;re already <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/use-woocommerce-online-store\/\">selling on your site with WooCommerce<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sensei installs a Lessons page type in your WordPress dashboard so you can create lessons as if you were creating any other page. You can fill question banks for random-question quizzes in your course, and Sensei gives you the choice of grading your quizzes yourself or letting the LMS handle it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Pricing:<\/strong> A one-year Sensei subscription costs $129 for a single site, $179 for up to five sites, and $279 for up to $25 sites. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Sensei Extensions<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WooCommerce extensions for Sensei give you extra capabilities like controlling the pace at which your students go through lessons, adding audio and PDF handouts, showing students their progress through your course, and generating certificates for students who complete your course. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Pricing:<\/strong> Most of WooCommerce&#8217;s Sensei extensions are free. Sensei Content Drip, to control pacing, starts at $29 for a single site. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sensei Themes<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sensei says it&#8217;s compatible with 'most well-coded WordPress themes,'\u009d so if you have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/best-free-wordpress-themes\/\">WordPress theme<\/a> you like, you can probably use it for your courses. If not, or if you&#8217;re ready for a different look, WooCommerce offers 15 themes that have integrated Sensei support. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Pricing:<\/strong> WooCommerce&#8217;s Storefront, Boutique, and Deli themes are free. Others cost $39 each.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-20422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/learndash-lms-plugin-1024x617.png\" alt=\"learndash lms plugin\" width=\"640\" height=\"386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/learndash-lms-plugin-1024x617.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/learndash-lms-plugin-300x181.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/learndash-lms-plugin-768x463.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/learndash-lms-plugin.png 1778w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>2. LearnDash<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.learndash.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LearnDash<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a popular choice for university distance learning courses and corporate and government training courses, but its pricing puts it within reach of new course developers, too. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Its features include question banks and custom quiz messages, drip-feed content scheduling to set the pace of the course, minimum lesson time settings, and instructor tools to track student progress, award points, and manage student access. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LearnDash also offers an array of ways to make money from your courses, from one-off course purchases and monthly subscriptions to all-access individual memberships and course bundles. LearnDash also enables you to sell group-access licenses to large groups like schools and corporations. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Pricing:<\/strong> A one-year LearnDash license costs $199 for a single site, $229 for up to 10 sites, and $369 for up to 25 sites. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LearnDash extensions<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several free extensions for LearnDash, including payment integration add-ons, Content Cloner to copy and save your entire course as a new draft for updating and editing, and GamiPress and BadgeOS for gamification. Paid extensions can integrate your LearnDash courses with MailChimp and Slack, and allow multiple instructors to teach your courses. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Pricing:<\/strong> Many extensions published by LearnDash are free, including integrations for WooCommerce and Stripe. Premium extension pricing varies by publisher, title, and the type of site license. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LearnDash themes<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like Sensei, LearnDash works with most existing WordPress themes. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wpastra.com\/learndash-theme\/?bsf=835\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LearnDash recommends Astra<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> because it loads quickly. Astra is one of the most popular themes for mobile-friendly functionality, which is important now that so many of us use our phones for everything, including distance learning. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Pricing:<\/strong> Astra&#8217;s basic version is free; the Pro version ranges from $59 to $249 per year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-20421\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/lifter-lms-1024x556.png\" alt=\"lifter lms\" width=\"640\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/lifter-lms-1024x556.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/lifter-lms-300x163.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/lifter-lms-768x417.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/lifter-lms.png 2038w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>3. LifterLMS<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lifterlms.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LifterLMS<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is designed to be easy to use, with features like drag-and-drop course creation, instructional design guidance, course import\/export and migration tools, and tools for collecting and displaying student reviews of your courses. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also create multimedia lessons, provide your students with downloadable lesson media, create student forums, and set up course tracks toward degrees or certifications. LifterLMS gives you lots of ways to monetize your courses: one-time payments, payment plans, subscriptions, private coaching, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Pricing:<\/strong> LifterLMS has a different pricing structure than Sensei and LearnDash. The plug-in is free to download, which you can use to do market research on your course topics, draft free courses, and take tuition payments. When you&#8217;re ready to upgrade, you can buy extensions a la carte or in bundles.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LifterLMS extensions<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LifterLMS add-ons can integrate your courses with Stripe, PayPal, WooCommerce, and Authorize.net so you can accept tuition and membership payments. You can also integrate affiliate referral tracking extensions, MailChimp and other email marketing tools, and several forms options. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Pricing:<\/strong> LifterLMS extensions start at $99 each per year for single-site use, which can add up quickly if you want to integrate a payment service, email marketing service, and design and course management add-ons. LifterLMS also offers a Universe Bundle of 10 extensions at $299 per year and an Infinity Bundle for $99 per month. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LifterLMS themes<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">OceanWP and Astra both work well with LifterLMS and are popular choices that many WordPress users are already familiar with. LaunchPad is the most popular LifterLMS theme. It allows you to customize the appearance and gives you access to hundreds of typography options through Google Fonts. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Pricing:<\/strong> Astra&#8217;s basic version is free. Other themes start at $39. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Build Your Online Course with These LMS Plugins<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you choose your LMS, payment extensions, and themes, you&#8217;re ready to start building your courses and your audience.
