After researching other LMS platforms, I concluded that Edredo is a perfect platform that is completely FREE, has all the features like other platforms, and has some additional advanced filters. Overall, a free and new place to learn and connect with a new group of teachers and students across the world.
hey i don't find nothing about it on google whre u is Edredo:
The best, most complete and professional review about LMS. thank you! Greetings from Brazil.
Would love to see a LifterLMS review in the mix!
Maybe! how many likes can we get for LifterLMS comment? 😃
Can u differ from LifterLMS with speed and funcationality?
@@IdeaSpot We would gladly promote the video through our email list and social channels. Looks like Ferdy got 864 likes on his LifterLMS tutorial: ruclips.net/video/ZCSwaUZa3d8/видео.html If you want a complimentary license just reach out and mention for RUclips tutorial.
Paypal or stripe payment gateays integration should be available to be used in free version instead of a paid addon. Rest the lifterlms is awesome
Great review and LOVED the background music - best I've ever heard on a RUclips review video. Thank you!
Wow, thanks!
some others complained about my music and i stopped using it after that :D
I'm surprised Divi wasn't mentioned as it integrates with LearnDash and Tutor LMS. If LearnDash had lifetime I'd go with them, but I'm probably going with Tutor LMS.
I haven’t tested divi with these plugins yet but I’m guessing tutor lms and learndash will both work just fine, at least with tutor you can test the free version first - good luck with the project.
Hello there amazing, but could you please tell me how can I teach online on my website? I mean to add a plugin that students can contact me and I access them live over that plugin.
Thanks for the informative comparison. The url given in your video to avail of discount doesn't seem to be working. I found the same prices for Learndash.
Yes I think this is the best possible price around at the moment, thanks for watching!
Man .. I started to be educated to your channel contents ..
Thank you. This was very helpful and very detailed, you weighed the optioned properly from every possible angle.
Glad it was helpful! thanks, Alex
If I have one website to train people with multiple lesson....how many licenses do I need for these plug-ins?
Thanks for the overview and comparisons - very clearly articulated. Your voice sounds exactly like Karl Moore from Zen 12
Wow, thanks! haha
@@IdeaSpot see the first video of yours that I watched I was coding while watching/listening. I realized after like 20 min that my brain swore I was listening to Jazza lmao
Thanks for making this video...could please suggest how to see all students list and activity details?
The reporting feature in Learndash would be good for that: www.learndash.com/propanel-by-learndash/
@@IdeaSpot Sorry, I forgot to mention in TutorLMS, not in Learndash.
@@PhaniNirola Sure, Tutor LMS has a report feature too: docs.themeum.com/tutor-lms/addons/reports/
Thank you man! You have done an amazing job reviewing those three.
I appreciate that - thanks RJM :D
which one is the best for a big question bank & mock exams, all based on quizzes: multiple choice with 4 possible answers and subsequent explanations for right/wrong ? no video lectures, nothing too crazy, just qbank and mock exams. thank you
managed to find it, help me
I've been wanting to know if LearnDash or LearnPress has the function for video transcription. For example, in Udemy, you can see the transcript by the side as you watch the video.
If not, is there a way around it?
Greetings,
How did you create this awesome video? any template for it (you appearing in computer)? Thanks in advance.
Dear Alex
Kindly can I put on this theme my Blogs with different page?
Thanks
Thanks for your tutorial. I am using learndash but I have not been able to use it because of the high technicality involved. Out of these three LMS which one of them has a student's Dashboard. It looks like learndash does not have a student's dashboard. Do learnpress and tutor have student's dashboard? I need an LMS that has a student's dashboard please recommend one for me. Thanks
Hi, yes it can make a student profile page easily - the guide for that is here: www.learndash.com/creating-a-learndash-user-profile-page/
Of course Learndash has that. Maybe contact the support. They are really great and helpful.
hello sir, i have a wordpress based education site. I have uploaded slides from the insert program to the lectures. I want to show how much time students spend. How can I do that
Thank you so much! Your channel has been so helpful and interesting. Keep it up :)
Great vid! What software do you use to screen record your videos?
Great video which one is the fastest related to speed?
I just want to a simple multi tutor site like italki. What plugin you recommend for something like that?
Wonderful explanation! subscribed
Welcome aboard!
Hi What Is LMS can to enroll student for free and one user can Login only one course? Thank you please help me 😢
Thank you! Very Helpful as I begin to research how to upload my signature program for clients. So much to learn! LOL
What software did you go with? :)
Thank you very much!! Do you know how can I create a section on each lesson where the student can take >>notes
Hi, It could be done but I haven't tested how to do that honestly - It's likely to involve editing the plugin with custom code. Best way would be to ask in the relevant plugin support forum on wordpress.org
@@IdeaSpot Ok! Thank you very much :))
I love your channel
Hi, I am using Tutor lms, but while creating data interpretation type questions i am unable to insert table or graphs in quiz, Do you have idea how can i insert image or tables in quizzes. is this option available in Pro Tutor lms? Currently i am using Free version.
Hi, not sure you can do it in a quiz, but you maybe able to use assignments to do what you need.
Their support team had once mentioned that their developers were working on adding that feature.. it might have been up by now but i am not sure..
Does anyone know if you can restrict access to a lesson with LearnPress. Something that would require password if a student wishes to check the course or module? Or do you have other suggestion in mind. Thanks.
Really great video, thank you very much. Would you recommend any other LMS's over WordPress like Kajabi, Thinkific, Teachable, Podia, and a few others? Was leaning towards Kajabi and/or Thinkific before watching your video. Can WordPress have issues with plugins and updates, etc? Cheers :))
Most of my channel is Wordpress related, but I’ll take a look at other options when I get a chance, thanks for watching 👍
Thanks a lot for posting such an amazing video.
Is there a to lock or block lessons/topics in learn dash if you’re looking for students to complete one topic before moving on? Thank you
Would love to see a Masterstudy LMS review!
Thank you for your video, I am still not sure which one will be the best solution, my students won't get grades, but they do need to do assignments with essay type assessments, multiple-choice and questions. I am not sure if I would do one time or subscription. Which one do you suggest?
Definitely LearnDash, for this - this is my current preferred method: ruclips.net/video/L_fT39LAlw8/видео.html
Have you done a review of Tutor Starter Templates for Tutor LMS?
Do you know of a free LMS that allows audio lessons instead of video? I tried tutor and it let's me upload audio but won't play. I emailed them and they said they don't support audio at this time. I've tried googling and can't find anything. I know thinkific allows audio lessons but in order to do multiple courses you have to pay. I love that tutor LMS allows multiple courses for free but I can't use it because I don't want the big bulky video for each lesson. I want mostly audio lessons. Any advice would be amazing!!!
maybe just combine it with a nice audio player plugin? wordpress.org/plugins/search/audio+player/
@@IdeaSpot Just tried and it won't let me use it in the actual lessons ):
its possible, hopefully you figure it out 😎
I am themify theme and have just started using learnpress. Should I switch to tutor lms ?
If it's working ok there's no need to change! Just test and see if you like it - I haven't tried themify + learnpress myself yet though...
good luck
Alex
Very useful video Thank you for sharing. Best wishes
Hi, which LMS is mobile-friendly without having to download or code anything please.
I don't know about the other options but I am under the impression that LearnDash is a responsive design and consequently works with phones and tablets.
yes, definitely LearnDash has the best mobile functionality
Thank you
You've been verry helpfull, I enjoy the tone of voice, nice music background.
Glad to hear it! thanks Mariela - welcome to the channel.
Alex
Which plugins allow subscription plan for instructor registration?
man, I love your style, great job!!
Awesome, thank you!
Hey mate, great video thanks for sharing knowledge. Q- which in your opinion is the best course plugin that would work for marketplace website where tutors can create their own courses. ? Which means the course building UI has to be super simple to use for Tutors, intuitive and rich in user experience.
Suggestion on Free plugins and Paid reasonable one. Hope you can provide some guidance. Much appreciated! Thank you!
Hi, thank you very much for this helpfull information. Which of these plugins do you recommend me to integrate with "Ultimate Member" plugin? Thank you very much!
Hi, LearnDash is the one compatible with most membership plugins - but perhaps not that one exactly: www.learndash.com/lms-plugin-membership-plugin-or-both/
IdeaSpot thank you very much for your answer! And with bbpress? Is someone compatible?
@@verosantos11 Hi, it will be better to contact them directly here: www.learndash.com/contact/ they will be able to provide better help I think :)
Are these LMS's or LRS's..? Also, do these options let me upload SCORM courses and let users take the courses directly on the site? (Like uploading a course from Articulate Storyline)
Hi Michael, I believe LearnDash has those features - best to chat with one of their reps, will give you the best advice!
good luck with your project,
Alex
hi, it is posible to add a start date manually to a couse? or a user? on learndash?
Hi, Yes you can set a schedule for courses and even specific lessons by date: www.learndash.com/schedule-content-by-specific-date/
Good luck, Alex
Great content, Alex; thank you. How would you integrate LearnPress with WooCommerce if I want customers to checkout their LearnPress e-course through WooCommerce and not through the payment part of LearnPress?
Hi, there is a paid add on for WooCommerce for LearnPress, but I didn't find it to work as nicely as the LearnDash or Tutor LMS options, TutorLMS actually provides it in the free version too > ruclips.net/video/I8hlUInMzm0/видео.html
which one has a better quiz maker? I still feel a lot of these platforms aren't good enough for making quizzes
Probably Learndash is best but Tutor is pretty close. Either one is good!
Thank you for this very helpful information. I am having a terrible experience with learnpress though even though its a paid version
Oh :( sorry to hear that - I actually made a much more detailed learnpress video here: ruclips.net/video/jjT0Y6uG7vM/видео.html maybe it can help you?
Yeah same, I wouldn't recommend LearnPress. Very buggy, switching to BuddyBoss with LearnDash now.
Are users students or instructors or both?
Thank you for your help 👍🏽
with which can Stripe be integrated and people to pay via it ? thanks
Learndash has best woocommerce integration with stripe, tutor is nice too - thanks for watching and good question 👍
Hi, thank you for the video & needful details. The link shared by you for Learn Dash is showing the same pricing of $189. There isn't any special pricing offer which can be seen. Can you pls enlighten on the same. Thanks a lot :)
Hi Anujj, I believe the regular price is $229 so that's the best offer I could find at the moment.
Be careful if you find very cheap copies of this plugin around when you search google - I noticed some people are selling unofficial copies, those won't include support or updates...
Hi, thank you for the great videos! I have a question - I am looking to build my first Courses site - whit only 1 course on it. I am looking like you said for a free option for now. If I understood you correctly the best option for this is Tutor. I've installed Astra theme and really liked the "LearanDash Academy" template but it seems like it can not be run with Woocommerce and Tutor LMS, or am I wrong? It has these pre-build futures for the other plugin, and second, I don't know if it can be used with Woo? Thank you!
Hi, the Academy template works with only with Learndash not Tutor LMS. You can still use Tutor LMS with the other templates - like I did one using the life coach template in the video here: ruclips.net/video/I8hlUInMzm0/видео.html
I setup woocommerce on Tutor LMS in that video too, hope it helps.
thanks - Alex
@@IdeaSpot Hi and thank you for your reply! So I can not make it work without coding? I've already watched your video, but I didn't like the template. So how can I find a free template which I like and how to know if it will work with Woo+Tutor?
You can use any of the free Astra templates they will all work, also the free ones included with Elementor will work too... finally there are more free templates in the envato plugin: wordpress.org/plugins/envato-elements/
im sure you can find even more if you search for elementor templates... good luck!
@@IdeaSpot thank you very much. One more - If any of those templates will work wit Woocommerce and Tutor, why not the learn academy template? Is it "locked" to Learndash plugin?
Yes I think so, i thinks it’s a collaboration between learndash and Astra
Thank you! Very Helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much. I love your voice.
Wow, thank you!
Thank you for this well documented and clear comparisson. Very chilling ambiance!
Glad you enjoyed it! thanks, Alex
hi whish is better learn press or MasterStudy ?
LearnPress has a free version so you can just try for yourself. MasterStudy I haven't tested, but it seems to use WPBakery page builder which I'm not a huge fan of.
How about Masterstudy LMS Plugins?
I left a like, Which is the best platform to use to make a realstate course. Honestly is appreciated to many IT guys seem to just blow smoke up my ass. Money is no expense here. Your input would be appreciated.
I’d lean toward learndash with kadence theme - the method in my most recent lms tutorial: ruclips.net/video/RnU0RhsPLoc/видео.html
There are course templates for both Gutenberg and elementor on kadence now too.
The other nice option is Astra with a learndash template - I love the cartflows integration for the improved checkout experience. You can add cartflows to kadence too, it’s just that Astra has that built in to the template.
Good luck with the project!
Brilliant thanks 😊
What happens if one makes content by using learnpress and then wants to shift to learndash.
Will all the contents of the website now move to learndash automatically?
Hi
How can I get learnpress categories and pages response JSON by Wordpress API?
Hi, I haven't tried doing this, better contact the devs and see what they have: thimpress.com/contact-us/
Very good.
Background music is unnecessary and distracting.
A very helpful information about LMSs. Thank you very much for that. Would you please tell us about MasterStudy LMS.
Good idea, but I haven't tried that one yet, have you tried it?
@@IdeaSpot Thank you, Alex, for your reply. I watched the promotional videos recently and they have some nice features, the Front end course builder is one of them. I think access to the backend should only be for Admins., certainly not for instructors. What do you think?
That Lms is cheap and it is the only good thing I can say about it from my experience. Lots of bugs throughout, and the support is horrible.
@@ChristinaMcKay Thanks dear.
thank you
I tried to watch the video (I intended to learn smth) but somehow I lost in the music and I can say that you play the guitar so well - but I do NOT know anything you said. Too bad!
Im making language course, what lms should i use?
Probably Learndash if you have the budget, otherwise try the free version of LearnPress or Tutor and see what you prefer.
Please provide astra theme link, thanks..
Hi, you can see it here: wpastra.com/ready-websites/?type=free&page-builder=elementor&search=learndash
Nice music but extremely distracting for a serious topic. It would be great to have an option to listen without music.
University of Michigan is posting courses in edX and coursera now.
nice, those look like pretty high end solutions
Im gearing towards learnpress because of lots of plugin extras but I'm seeing a lot of good stuff from tutorlms
They all work pretty well, LearnDash has a LOT of addons too if you wanna check that out :) What kind of course are you making?
Great
Thanks 🙏
I use LifterLMS, which you did not feature in your video. I am very pleased and do not consider using another LMS.
Its definitely a high end solution too!
I want a program that I can time lessons and certifify cccccccccccccccccccccccccctime and comoleetion.
Hi, either LearnDash or Tutor LMS will be good for those
clear your throat! Great tutorial though :)
ha :D thanks Jonathan
Don't take this the wrong way but the background music is very distracting to your video!
Thanks for your LMS overview. I would challenge you in the future to not use music in the background. It takes away from focusing on you.
Thanks Mary - have you built a course yet? what have you chosen?
I think the music made it relaxing, easing the stress in learning ...
Music is gd . Thanks for that
TIME
Not a criticism but constructive observation, you speak way too slow and too monotone and adding a bed time music as a background just just makes it that much harder to watch the video, I honestly started passing out while listening to you so I paused after 2 minutes EVEN though I'm actually quite interested in the subject but even then I still couldn't tolerate it. If you could bring some enthusiasm and energy in your videos that'd be really cool 😊 👌🏻
After researching other LMS platforms, I concluded that Edredo is a perfect platform that is completely FREE, has all the features like other platforms, and has some additional advanced filters.
