LearnDash Instructor Role

The plugin gives instructors restricted access to course management, so they can work on course content without relying on an administrator for every task. Instructors can create and edit courses, lessons, topics, and quizzes from front-end or back-end interfaces. The dedicated dashboard keeps their course work in one place, while administrators can set up dashboard content with Gutenberg blocks.

For learning sites with several educators, the plugin supports shared course management and an approval workflow for courses before publication. It also supports course sales through WooCommerce, instructor commission tracking, and PayPal payouts. Students can message instructors through BuddyPress from lesson or topic pages, and administrators can receive email alerts when instructors create or update course content or WooCommerce products.
