Creating a Learning Path interface that doesn’t overwhelm

  • Custom user interface
  • LearnDash
  • Content library

A navigational nightmare
The Problem

In the process of refreshing our client’s user dashboard to show users more important data first, we realized that the dashboard was not the ideal place to show users every Learning Path available to them, so we needed to create a new, focused interface for that purpose.

This dashboard served the site well when there was less content, with courses appearing in multiple categories.

A focused Learning Path interface
The Solution

To better organize Learning Paths, we created an overview page to list each path with a more descriptive title, a description and a thumbnail, as well as a progress bar reflecting the user’s progress through each item in the path. User access is restricted by testing whether the user is enrolled in every course in the path.

For more detail, the user can click through to the Learning Path archive, which is simply a layout applied to the LearnDash course category taxonomy, making data entry as easy as assigning courses to a category.

The single path view also includes a progress area that prompts the user to work on the next-up course to encourage them to progress through the content linearly.

Each Learning Path on the listing page includes a thumbnail and a description to improve context, and has a progress bar that tracks the user’s progress through all of the courses.
Navigating the new grid is much easier than finding content in a slider. The top card suggests the next-up content to the user to encourage them to progress linearly.
