“Build your own Online Learning Platform with WordPress”
Introduction to the Course

This course is a comprehensive guide to building your own paid online learning platform with WordPress, using Sensei from Woothemes as the learning management system, in conjunction with WP eMember for handling memberships and WP eStore WordPress plugins as the shopping cart and payments system.

There is also the option of setting up your own affiliate platform so you can invite affiliates to help sell your courses for you in return for a commission.

Teaching online is a great way of sharing your knowledge directly with a huge number of students. It’s also a fantastic solution to the problem of how to scale your teaching business – from the teacher’s point of view, making one course and selling it on the web certainly beats going to the classroom every day and teaching the same material over and over again.

However, increasingly it seems that the big online learning hosts are forcing educators to raise course prices so as to cover the higher cut they are taking, whilst at the same time discounting courses and in the process potentially damaging the perceived value of your courses in the eyes of customers.

If you want to be able to control your prices and keep them at a level which is fair to your students, and have absolute control over your platform, then WordPress is the way to go, but the initial setup is trickier and more timetaking than going for an off-the-shelf solution.

If you set up your platform as you do this course, you’ll cut out all the messing around and experimenting with settings and have your own online school up and running in 3 hours or less – Don’t try to go through the course taking notes and do it for real later – that would be a waste of time.

Instead of trawling the web for answers to problems, all the solutions are right in front of you, all in one place, with explanations where there are alternative ways of setting up the site according to the style of your course and your teaching requirements.

This entire course is FREE on Youtube, and hopefully will answer all your questions. If you do need more support, enrol on the course at http://webinaction.co.uk, where I am available for one-to-one support and frequently for instant chat sessions, and will help you get your e-learning platform up and running quickly and easily using these versatile plugins.

If you find you’d like my help with setting up your platform, then I provide support through the discussion panel on my website, webinaction.co.uk and I’m frequently available there for live chat.
