LearnDash

LearnDash is a WordPress LMS plugin that turns WordPress into a learning platform with full course management. When paired with LearnDash Groups and the BuddyBoss community plugin, it enables cohort-based learning with community messaging and social interaction. Instructors can enroll students into groups that progress through courses together while maintaining WordPress as the underlying platform.

This suits WordPress site owners running cohort programs and wanting community interaction alongside course delivery. The BuddyBoss integration gives you peer networking and group chat, which some cohort programs want; others prefer the simpler course-only setup without the community layer.
