Group Courses into Bundles

First of all, congratulations to the development team! We are testing how this will work for our corporate training school. Is it possible to group courses into bundles to offer based on user roles in WordPress? For example, courses A, B, and C would be accessible to users with custom role 1. However, course B could also be assigned to custom role 2. This is quite useful for some online school formats.

100 % agree, also will be amazing to have that courses can be configured with flexible access levels and rules, allowing you to manage course access and tailor the learning experience. Here’s an overview of the main options and access settings:

1. Course Access Levels

  • Full Access: Students can immediately access all course lessons. This option works well for self-paced courses where there’s no need to control the learning speed.
  • Step-by-Step Access: Courses can be set to gradually open lessons as students complete previous ones or after a specified time has passed since the course start date.
  • Scheduled Access: Lessons open on a fixed schedule, such as weekly or on set dates. This approach is useful for courses with a specific program and intensity.
  • Limited-Time Access: Settings allow restricting access to the course for a defined period (e.g., a month or year), after which students need to renew their subscription or pay to regain access.
  • Access by Pricing Plans: Different pricing plans with unique access rights to certain lessons or materials can be created. This enables selling various packages, such as a basic plan and a premium plan with extra materials.

2. Lesson and Material Access Settings

  • Unlock Conditions: Lessons can open only after certain conditions are met, such as completing homework, passing a test, or finishing the previous module.
  • Personalized Progress Tracking: Students can see their progress within the course, tracking completed lessons and assignments, which keeps them motivated to continue learning.
  • Additional Access to Individual Materials: Access to supplementary materials like PDF files or webinar recordings can be configured separately, useful for premium packages with extended content.
  • Available Lessons and Modules: The platform allows flexible control over individual lessons or modules for each student, including options for granting or revoking access manually.

3. Notifications and Reminders

  • Automatic New Lesson Reminders: Notifications can be set to inform students when a new lesson becomes available.
  • Progress Reminders: Students can receive reminders if they haven’t logged in or haven’t progressed, helping to keep them engaged.
  • Access Expiry Notices: Toward the end of their access period, the system can send reminders to encourage students to renew or pay for continued access.

4. Closed and Open Courses

  • Closed Courses: Available only to those who paid or received an invitation, ideal for exclusive programs or limited-enrollment courses.
  • Open Courses: Some materials can be available without payment, helping attract new students and giving them a chance to get familiar with your teaching style.

5. Access Extensions and Course Retakes

  • Access Extensions: Students can extend their course access as the set period expires.
  • Repeating Completed Courses: Courses can be set up to allow students to repeat the material after completion, useful for skill-based learning that requires regular review.

These settings enable you to tailor course access to suit various learning formats, making it convenient for students while providing flexibility and control for course organizers.
