As we’re getting to the third quarter (Q3) of the year, we want to review our progress in Q2 and turn our attention to future goals for MasterStudy. In this article, we’ll highlight what we’ve done so far and tell you more about new cool features.
Q2 Recap
- Audio lessons. In Q2, we introduced a new addon Audio Lessons to the Course Builder. Users can easily add audio to text, video, and quizzes with the addon. This includes uploading files or using tracks from Spotify and SoundCloud. It enhances learning with engaging experiences.
- AJAX loading. This new feature helps load pages in the MasterStudy plugin effortlessly and quickly. You can perform your work better, specifically on pages with a lot of content and pagination such as certificates.
- Student management with CSV export and import for instructors. At first, this option was available only for admins, now instructors also can upload many students with just a click.
- More Gutenberg blocks. We released cool updates to Gutenberg for MasterStudy. You can find and make use of new blocks in course categories. Featured Teacher, Courses Grid, Course Carousel, Archive Courses Blocks, Courses Categories, Course Bundles, and Instructors Grid have been introduced so far.
- New course page styles. Before users could choose simple page styles for their sites. With the fresh page styles, you can improve the course appearance. This lets you create a site that matches your style.
- Translations of plugin features. We’ve added support for translating the MasterStudy plugin features into several languages. These include Italian, German, Portuguese, French, and Spanish.
Let’s take a look at upcoming features for MasterStudy in the third quarter.
Q3 Roadmap
Course Order Details
We’re upgrading the My Orders page in MasterStudy to display order details. It will let both students and instructors check the information thoroughly about their orders. There will be the student’s name and email, payment methods, an option to send or print a receipt, and more.
Improved Reports & Analytics System
In future updates, you will be able to receive reports with additional data. With this feature, you can analyze your revenue from courses, compare it by period, and view reports on student engagement. Course reviews and rankings based on stats will be available as well.
Updates in Public Profiles
We’ll be adding separate public profiles for instructors and students. This will help you navigate your profile page more easily. Instructors can check courses, bundles, and other details while students can see a list of completed courses, open certificates and manage assignments.
Site Templates
With the MasterStudy plugin, you will get access to premium templates. You can make your website look beautiful and fresh by choosing templates with different colors.
Let’s Wrap It Up
Exciting updates are coming to the MasterStudy this quarter! We will be adding powerful new features to help your business grow.
We’d love to hear feedback from you! What do you think about the upgraded features? Your comments and views will improve our work!
Two things sound interesting and I can’t wait: for me who has no design skills, templates will be a great save. Will these templates work with non-stylemix themes like Kadence which I use on my website?
Secondly, having a detailed report and analytics system will be great especially if it be colorful.
Could you make the analytics system adopt the colors from the general (course) settings so that the site colors and analytics colors are consistent? Or give us the ability to set the colors for different measures aspects in the analytics table/pie?
In future, maybe next year or after, on the Masterstudy LMS pages, can you please add a login and a registration page, it could be in the pro or free version but just dedicated login and registration pages.
This will help people like me who use themes which are different to what you offer and have login/registration issues.
Hi, Kaunda
Thank you for your questions!
To address your first inquiry, MasterStudy Templates are designed specifically for our products, as their content and settings are closely integrated with MasterStudy LMS. You can customize colors in the global settings of the LMS for your courses, and these colors will also be reflected in the analytics.
Regarding your suggestion to add login and registration pages for MasterStudy LMS, we truly appreciate your input. Please submit this feature request to our board at the following link: https://stylemixthemes.cnflx.io/boards/masterstudy-lms. Our MasterStudy team will review it, and we hope to implement it in the future.
Thank you for your support!
