The glue for my online course

I tried using an LMS for my course but it sucked.

So now I use Woocommerce Memberships for payment and content protection, Gravity Forms for quizzes, and Toolset for custom post types.

(The great thing is I already use all of those plugins for other stuff, not just courses)

But something was missing. I wanted my course to feel like a true LMS application, not just a collection of password protected pages.

Thank goodness for WPcomplete. I’m using it to build a course dashboard where users can see their progress.

To my surprise, all I have to do is link to the lessons and WPcomplete will add a check mark next to the links that lead to completed lessons. With a little CSS I was able to also add a strike through on the links to completed lessons.

I had a question about an error and submitted a support ticket. They correctly and quickly diagnosed that it was a problem with my database, not WPcomplete. My host resolved the issue.

FEATURE REQUEST

A Gravity Forms integration would be sweet. I’d love for a student to mark a page as complete if they submit a form with their work or complete a quiz.

Then I can use Gravity Forms to alert my teachers and mentors, or send a congrats email to a student. Even better, I can assign points with the Gravity Forms / myCred plugin. Then students can use myCred points to buy other courses or.mentor sessions, thanks to myCred’s Woocommerce integration.

For me, a WPcomplete integration with Gravity Forms would open up a world of possibilities.
