Hello, Can IPB work as a Learn Management System? I saw a plugin that does that but it hasn't been updates since 2018.

 

Thank you

I would love to have something like LearnDash LMS WordPress plugin. The ones I saw in the Marketplace are very far from something like LearnDash, it's a pity. 

 

 

i don't know if you know what you are talking about

And I’m out. 

 

I'd be curious to see how we (as a community) could meet in the middle. Create a LMS that's sufficient and powerful, but not overly complicated. 

Some years ago (2018) there was a lms app, coded by Adriano. There was almost no sales. 

any news on this?

Hey @growroom! Right now we don't have any concrete plans to develop a built-in LMS application, however... I did create a mini course that includes 10 videos slated for Invision Community beginners. Those videos will somehow need to take the user on a little guided journey, so that might be an opportunity for us to crack the door here. Curious, what basic functionality would you like to see? Prefacing this that this doesn't mean we are actively developing this, but inquiring minds want to know 😄

Hey Jordan! Thats cool!

You just forgot to share the link of your 10 videos with us here! 

 

 Curious, what basic functionality would you like to see? 

I usually use Pages for this purpose. A category is a course—a record is a Lesson. A problem I run into with this method is that a “category” can’t hold any other information than title and description. There is no category image, no category rating (to rate the course), no custom fields to add additional information about the course. So that is something I would like to see improved. More power to Pages categories. 

You can already do basic LMS things in our platform. I agree we would love to do a full LMS but it's a fairly specialized thing and would distract us from other projects. That said, I think we could add a few more basic things that would get you a lot closer to a sort of LMS-light.

 

Curious, what basic functionality would you like to see?

Here's a few:

• Rate courses.
• Tests / scoring.
• Enrollment (like joining a club).
• The possibility of accessing lesson 2 only after finishing lesson 1, like Udemy does.
• Embed videos (YouTube, Vimeo, etc).
• Top students (highest score).

I consider a basic LMS a must in today's world. People need to share stuff. The pandemic ruined lots of face to face businesses, but e-learning courses increased massively.

Thanks,

Fernando

 

Could you explain the tests part?  Like a quiz feature for specific lessons ?

Hi Daniel. A quiz in the end of a lesson is a good thing indeed. However, in the previous post I actually meant exams. Here's what I think it should support:

• Deadline / closing date.
• Scoring system (the teacher presets the right answers for multiple choice questions).
• Free text questions (the teacher will have to review it and assign a score).
• A final score for the exam.
• As a teacher, if I create an exam with only multiple choice questions, I want to be able to see it with a score assigned automatically (as I have preset the right answers).
• Set a data to make the exam results visible for the students.

Thank you very much. I can't wait to have something like this in Invision. Currently, I am using Clubs as "student classes" and Polls as exams but of course I have a lot of problems with this approach.

Best,

Fernando

No problem. It's just a dream. 🙂

Maybe one day, maybe not. No worries. Invision is still the best and that's why I keep "hacking" it to do things it doesn't do natively. It always worth because the things Invision do natively are very well done. 😉

If anyone is able to create something like this via freelancing, I would love to hear from you.

the question is whether it will be available in self hosted even if you have to buy the LMS product?

how can we ask to pay $549 / month in order to have an LMS with unlimited live topics when we don't need this server but just a little more than the 10 live topics with the LMS?

We just want to start at the beginning of the live lessons with live topic in micro learning (20 minute lessons) 5 times a week for example with an active community that starts with maybe 10 students.

When we are a small community starting out in online teaching, why would you want to force them to take an offer at $549 / month in a server that they don't need just to start with live online lessons with an LMS? ?

Let administrators launch their community, start with an LMS, enrich it as you want to tell them directly that they need an offer at $549 / month in a server that they really don't need to invest and nor the funds for a small community, especially if it is for leisure.

I am not against having to go to the Cloud, but that then corresponds to my real needs and not from the start with a weak community not yet developed.

we are not all here the LEGO, MATTEL company and such
