Started to learn the LearnDash LMS plug-in. I’ve been going back and forth with the training videos LearnDash provides within WordPress (and via YouTube) and pages from the LearnDash documentation, peppering my education here and there with a Google searches to help with issues such as “How do I re-order lesson topics?”
For practice content, I’m starting with material from an assignment from EDU E-103 (Introduction to Instructional Design). It’s the curation assignment from the second block. I’ll use my content as one lesson; another student’s as another, thus the similar lesson names. (A few exemplary samples of student work was distributed to current students after the assignments were graded.)
ANYWAY, let’s all pause and marvel at how absolutely hideous the course outline looks in the WP theme I was initially using (Twenty-Twenty, I think):
I cannot wait to learn how I can best use the Elementor plug-in with LearnDash-based posts and pages. I figure I should learn LearnDash first, lest I start fiddling with layouts and typography at the expense of developing structure and content.
Hm. At least let me switch to a theme recommended by LearnDash. There are three such themes available for free: Astra, Kadence, and GeneratePress. I settled on Astra for now. Here’s the same content pictured above rendered by the Astra theme (again, default settings):
Looking a little better. Of course, mega room for improvement.
OK, enough worrying about aesthetics for now. Must focus on learning the darn plug-in.
