Courses easily handles online learning-content delivery and course progression and, because it\u2019s part of MemberPress, advanced content protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, if you\u2019re operating in a corporate environment, for example, and need advanced accountability features like SCORM<\/a> or xAPI<\/a> for your curriculum, using MemberPress and LearnDash<\/a> together through our LearnDash integration<\/a> will be your best bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LearnDash<\/a> is one of the best LMS plugins for creating online courses with WordPress. With MemberPress handling user management and content access, and LearnDash helping you deliver multi-tier courses, offer assessments, test students, and award certificates, you\u2019ll have a robust platform in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may already be using both plugins on your site. But even if you\u2019re not, you\u2019ll still want to read this article to learn about the integration and how it makes combining these two leading plugins much more straightforward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By the end of this article you\u2019ll be more familiar with how MemberPress and LearnDash work together to improve your website. You may even pick up some ideas on how to help your audience by adding another plugin like MemberPress or LearnDash to your stack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>The LearnDash MemberPress Add-on<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The LearnDash MemberPress add-on was launched by the LearnDash team in January 2017. It\u2019s free to download for LearnDash license holders and is just one among the growing number of the company\u2019s free and premium add-ons<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite there being some overlap in the features and functionality of MemberPress and LearnDash, such as both plugins being able to manage users and control access to your content, using these two tools together can greatly enhance your website. Let\u2019s find out how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Offer Online Courses as Part of a Membership Level<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
MemberPress lets you create and sell multiple membership levels, or tiers, as well as online courses. As mentioned, LearnDash lets you create online courses with advanced accountability features such as xAPI and SCORM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By using MemberPress for membership management and LearnDash for course management, you can create advanced courses that can be packaged as part of your membership levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, an entry-level bronze membership plan may include access to your introductory course. Upgrading to the higher, silver, membership level then unlocks access to your intermediate course, with the top-tier gold membership plan granting access to all courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alternatively, you could offer multiple membership plans covering different topics, such as courses on photography, graphic design, and programming, instead of implementing a hierarchical system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By using the MemberPress add-on for LearnDash, you can also associate\u00a0the membership levels and courses of the two plugins to enable automatic enrollment on the linked courses when a user signs up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This integration also goes both ways, with users being automatically unenrolled from a course when they cancel or change their membership status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Running a successful membership site or LMS business that has the potential to generate passive income requires as much automation as possible\u2014 something this add-on integration is focused on helping you achieve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Grow Your User Base with Free Trials<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re already a MemberPress user, you\u2019re probably aware of your ability to\u00a0 offer free trials<\/a> to prospective members. This could include a free membership tier that grants users basic access to your content, free access to your premium content for a set period, or a combination of the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By integrating MemberPress with your LearnDash-powered online course, you\u2019ll be able to offer sophisticated automated free trials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you can associate MemberPress membership levels and tiers with specific LearnDash courses on the same site, you\u2019ll have plenty of options for harnessing this proven lead-generation tactic<\/a>\u00a0and using free trials to grow your platform\u2019s user base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add the\u00a0 MemberPress coupons feature<\/a>\u00a0to the mix and you can be really creative when it comes to enticing new members to sign up or existing members to upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Wrap Up<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In most cases, MemberPress Courses<\/a> has what you need to build and sell your online curriculum. But if you need more advanced accountability features, a leading online course plugin like LearnDash is a great solution when combined with a powerful membership plugin like MemberPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thanks to this add-on, it\u2019s easier than ever to take advantage of MemberPress features like multiple levels, free trials, and coupons and combine them with the powerful online-assessment and LMS-quiz features of LearnDash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
