Four Learning Gaps You Can Address with Courses
You Can Build More Than Skill Courses I just got off a quick call about online courses and the paradigm that they were working under this notion that the only kind of course that you could create is a course that is solving a skill gap. You know those courses. It's all those \"how to\"...
Thinking About Learning All Wrong
In the Lema house, we have a high value for learning and education My wife was a teacher in school districts for almost two decades and then spent time home schooling our two kids until they got to high school. She has a masters degree in education. And while my masters is in leadership and...
Event Tracking for LearnDash
What is Event Tracking? Every time you do something online, you're likely being tracked. Now, that can sound ominous, but it doesn't have to be. If someone is tracking you to sell that behavior to others, that's what I would consider bad. But if you're using event tracking for anonymous personalization, it might be considered...
LearnDash Integrity
Some Days You Get to Release Cool Stuff Today we released LearnDash 3.6 along with CourseGrid 2.0 and LearnDash Integrity. And while all the rest is so cool, and I told you already about Subscriptions, what I was most thrilled about was Integrity. I didn't build anything. The team did all the work. I just...
LearnDash Subscriptions
If you had asked me last week about selling LearnDash courses via subscriptions, I would have told you that the best way was to install WooCommerce and then add the WooCommerce Subscriptions extension and go from there.

You'd likely think I was lying or being biased if I told you we designed Nexcess specifically for courses, memberships and stores. So let's skip past specific recommendations and talk...
Team Discounts using Automator & Coupons
Imagine you wanted to create an online course that you were going to sell with WooCommerce. This is a request I get all the time. But then you get a more nuanced request - how do I sell team access, in fixed amounts. What they mean is selling a product that is a 5-seat license,...
How To Use Presto Player with LearnDash
You may not know this but I've been offering courses for years and years. But most of the time it's not been on my main site. I've used Teachery, Teachable, Thinkific, and most recently Podia. But today I started to move my storytelling course to my own site (in a subdomain). Today I thought I...
Did You Hear the LearnDash News?
The other day I wrote about the changing dynamics in the online learning and LMS space. I've been watching and working in that space since 1995, when we called it Computer Based Training (CBT). The Good Old Days Back then, and I'n not joking here, if you wanted a corporate training solution, you would hire...
Managing Courses on a Subdomain
The other day I got a question that I'm pretty sure every LMS plugin or platform provider has gotten. \"Should I run my courses on a subdomain?\" But there was a twist to the version of the question I got. So let's jump in and I'll not only answer the question, but show you how...
