How to Create an eLearning Site When You Have Zero Technical Skill

Do you want to create an eLearning site but don’t know where to start? Well, in this article I’ll show you how easy it is. You’ll learn how to set up your site and install an e-learning plugin. Then we’ll get down to the fun stuff: adding a theme and creating courses.

How to create an eLearning site if you don’t have technical skills?

The challenges and the solutions

Creating an eLearning site is not easy, and there are many challenges. One of the biggest challenges is to find the right LMS plugin which ticks all the boxes for your needs.

Master Study is a WordPress LMS plugin with a drag-and-drop editor and plenty of customization options to make your online classroom look as you want it to look. You also get all the features you would expect from an LMS, such as roles and permissions management, quizzes, recording lectures, etc., so I believe it ticks all those boxes for us!

Step 1. Choose a Domain Name and Purchase Web Hosting

You will also need to choose a domain name and the site address you might see in your browser’s URL bar. A domain name should be easy to remember and have no special characters or symbols, making it hard for people to type into their browsers. It should be written in lowercase letters without spaces or hyphens (for example, “example” instead of “exampl3e”). 

It should also be easy for people to pronounce when they say it out loud so that they don’t have any trouble remembering where they heard about your eLearning site before visiting it again later on down the line-you want them coming back again and again!

The right choice depends on how much space is within budget constraints because purchasing hosting services isn’t cheap. However, if possible, we recommend selecting something with unlimited bandwidth so that all visitors can view videos without significantly slowing down page load times due to high demand loads.

Step 2. Install WordPress Manually or Using A 1-Click Installer

The next step is to install WordPress. There are two ways of doing this: through a 1-Click installer or manually. You can find the installation instructions for your hosting provider in your Control Panel, or you can read our article on installing WordPress manually.

Once you’ve installed WordPress, it’s time to install an LMS plugin! The best way of doing this is by using a 1-click installer from your Control Panel. 

This will not only help you choose the right LMS plugin but also choose the right theme and make sure that everything works together smoothly with no coding knowledge required at all!

Step 3. Choose and Install an LMS Plugin

Now it’s time to start choosing your eLearning site’s LMS (Learning Management System) plugin. Why? Because this is the heart of your eLearning platform, we’ll make sure that you choose one that is easy for you to use, easy for our team to help customize and maintain, and can scale with your business as it grows.

Choose a WordPress LMS Plugin with the following features:

Easy installation

The first section is easy installation. As you know, having a good LMS plugin is very important because it can save time and effort. You don’t need to spend lots of time installing the LMS plugin on your website. Follow the instructions, and you can install it within minutes.

Free version available

It’s great when the free version of a plugin is available because you can try it before you buy it. The free version gives you an idea of how well the plugin works and if it meets your requirements or not. It also helps you decide whether or not you want to invest in a paid version or not.

Supports most of the modern themes

Another important thing to consider while choosing your LMS plugin is whether or not it supports most of the modern themes or not? If yes, then go ahead with this option because it means that even if you change your theme in the future, your LMS will work smoothly without any issues.

A very responsive help desk team

In addition to a great product, the support team is an important part of your LMS. You want to work with a company that provides prompt, clear responses to any questions or concerns you have.

Good features

Another important factor when choosing a WordPress LMS plugin is its features. For example, WooLMS lets you create courses with unlimited lessons; create quizzes with unlimited questions; add unlimited users; collect student progress reports; integrate with Google Analytics, use PayPal payment gateways, etc.

A clear and detailed explanation of features and pricing

The best WordPress LMS plugins will provide a clear breakdown of their features, pricing, and plans. This will allow you to make an informed decision before you sign up for anything.

We recommend using the MasterStudy Plugin because it checks all these boxes. It’s also easy to use and flexible enough so that your team can customize it for various needs without any special programming knowledge required. The last thing you want is thousands of dollars’ worth of coding mistakes preventing your learning management system from working correctly!

Step 4. Set Up Your LMS Plugin – How to Install Master Study plugin

Now that you’ve gone through the steps above, it’s time to install and set up your new e-learning plugin.

If you haven’t already installed Master Study LMS, do that now. 

• Login to your WordPress Admin Dashboard;
• Go to your admin dashboard, click on Plugins and then Add New. In the search box, type MasterStudy LMS and install it;

• Go to Plugins – Installed Plugins and activate the plugin;
• Go to Settings – Masterstudy LMS Settings and setup the plugin parameters according to your needs:

• Configure the plugin settings according to your requirements. Once done, click the “Save Changes” button at the bottom of the page;
• Setup courses archive page in the menu area;
• Go to Appearance – Menus and create a new menu item titled “Master Study Courses Archive” or something similar. Select the “MasterStudy Courses Archive” page as its destination URL option, save changes, and check if everything is working as expected by going there in your browser (you should see something like this) – https://example.com/master-study-courses-archive.

Step 5. Customize Your Site with a Theme and Plugins

Now that your site is up and running, it’s time to customize it. The first step is choosing a theme. We recommend you stick with something simple but visually appealing because this is where your new users spend most of their time.

Once you’ve chosen a theme (and installed it), you’re ready to start adding plugins. There are many different WordPress plugins for eLearning sites out there, so we recommend starting by installing some common ones.

Once these basic themes are installed, configure them according to our documentation or ask us about customizing them further with our support team! If needed, you can also install any other customizations using CSS/Sass files or JavaScript libraries like jQuery.

Create eLearning Courses with Master Study LMS

With Master Study LMS, you can create an online course with a simple drag-and-drop editor. You can also use our templates to get started quickly.

The Master Study LMS platform includes everything you need to create and host your online learning management system:

Go to the Course Builder dashboard and click Add new course. You’ll be asked to fill in all your information, including title, description, number of students, and lessons. You’ll also have the option to add a logo for your course.

Once you’ve completed this step, you’ll be able to start designing your content. Here you can add images, videos, or text boxes. When adding media files, we recommend uploading them beforehand, so they are ready when needed during the creation process.

You can create your content by dragging elements around or adding text directly into a box by typing it on your keyboard (or using voice dictation).

You can add lessons and quizzes to your course. Lessons are the content for your course, while quizzes help students test their knowledge of the lesson content.

With Master Study, you can create different types of questions, including;

• Single choice;
• Item match;
• Keywords;
• True or false;
• Multi-choice;
• Fill the gap;
• Image matching;
• Image choice.

The platform empowers you to create diverse lesson types, including:

• Text;
• Video;
• Sides;
• Online streams;
• Zoom meetings/webinars.

You can also add instructors and co-instructors for each lesson or quiz in the course. Instructors have access to all parts of the course, while co-instructors may have access to the lesson they were added to.

Add quizzes, tests, and polls to your lesson plans. Add certificates to reward students who complete their assignments successfully. And lastly, add PayPal payment integration so learners can pay for their courses directly through PayPal.

The LMS Plugin

You can create courses with video, audio, text, and images. You can also add quizzes to your course with multiple choice questions (MCQs), true/false questions (T/F), or short answer questions (SAQs).
