Set up your eLearning courses with Lifter LMS

I am a WordPress instructor, and I often have the opportunity to teach the same content, such as how to get started with WordPress and how to use WordPress. I came to know about the Learning Management System (LMS) because I thought it would be nice if my customers could learn through e-learning.

I also learned that you can get started for free by using a WordPress plugin, and this time I will explain how to install a plugin called Lifter LMS.

The benefit of creating an LMS is the automation of revenue.
They can take courses at their own discretion and collect fees at their own discretion.
We recommend building an LMS as one of the new non-face-to-face business ventures!

The installation method and initial settings are explained in the following article.

How to build an e-learning system with WordPress: Introduction

This time, I will introduce how to create an LMS using Amelia, a plugin that allows you to build a reservation management system using WordPress.

Where do I set up my courses in Lifeter LMS?

When you activate the Lifter LMS plugin, you will see the following in the left sidebar:

• LifterLMS
• Courses
• Memberships
• Engagements
• Order

The following item will be added. You can set your course in [Courses].

If you automatically added courses during the introductory course, one sample course will be included.
This time, we will introduce the process of creating a new course.

Click [Categories].

Add a category for your booking system

Beginner and Featured are included by default.

LMS course difficulty settings

Decide the name of the difficulty in the [Difficulties] section.

It is set to English by default, so let's edit it to Japanese.

All the names have been changed to Japanese.

The LifterLMS Pricing Table requires pricing settings, so I will introduce it in a separate article.

summary

Now that the Lifter LMS course introduction page setup is complete, let's continue by preparing the content for each course.

Also, since this is a plugin that is not translated, there are some parts where the English notation cannot be corrected by the automatic output. If you use the translation plugin, you can easily set up your own translation!
