THIS PLUGIN IS STILL UNDER DEVELOPMENT AND HAS NO WORKING FUNCTIONALITY. CHECK BACK JANUARY 2012.
UMatter2Us turns WordPress into a web-based <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_management_system" rel="nofollow ugc">learning management system</a> (LMS). 
The primary motivation behind this effort is the perceived deficiency of existing tools, e.g. Blackboard, for the effective 
creation of a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student-centred_learning" rel="nofollow ugc">learner-centered classroom</a> environment.
The name of the system is a double entendre:
<ul>
<li>You Matter to Us This interpretation acknowledges the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_constructivism" rel="nofollow ugc">social constructivist pedagogy</a> that underlies the system. The system is designed to foster a learning community in which all members work to help others have rich, meaningful learning experiences. In such an environment, every member of the community is important–you matter to us–we wouldn’t have as deep an experience without you.</li>
<li>University Matter, To Us Members of a learner-centered classroom see a college education not as a means to an end, but as an end in and of itself. The system is designed to foster an intrinsic love of learning that will carry on throughout life. It is designed to produce “enlightened citizens who live meaningful and productive lives” through self-aware, reflective study. It’s how we see university matter, the stuff you study in college.</li>
</ul>
The basic principles upon with the system is built:
<ul>
<li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_constructivism" rel="nofollow ugc">Social Constructivist Pedagogy</a></li>
<li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastery_learning" rel="nofollow ugc">Mastery learning approach</a></li>
<li>Self-directed, flexible learning</li>
<li>All members of the learning community are learners, including the “professor”; all are equals</li>
<li>Mutual trust, respect and support</li>
</ul>
Key features of the system include:
<ul>
<li>Robust peer and self-evaluation tools designed to make all community members competent to recognize quality as a precursor to producing quality work</li>
<li>Multiple paths for achieving all learning goals allowing community members to select or create paths most appropriate to their own learning styles</li>
<li>“Community health indicators” that allow community members to monitor their own and each other’s learning trajectories. These indicators will alert community members when a peer is in need of attention or assistance.</li>
<li>Flexible messaging which takes advantage of multiple modes of communication, e.g. email, text messaging, chat, Twitter, Facebook, Google+, phone; allows members to send and receive messages in the manner that suits them best.</li>
</ul>

MasterStudy LMS WordPress Plugin – for Online Courses and Education

I've installed the free version and also the pro but have not yet had a chance to see how it works under pressure. Still, I think the features are well worth it because apart from developing your own courses within the system, you can import SCORM cartridges to get going. Also, the devs respond to inquiries quite promptly. Hopefully they will solve PHP 8 compatibility issues soon.

Looks good and has all the right features

Quite nice done course creator. But student account is terrible in terms of accessibility. Please put aside your mouse and try to accomplish anything just with the keyboard. Try the same with NVDA on. Lots of links without labels. Your main menu stays open when focus leaves it.Quizzes are better, but please start using <fieldset><legend> for questions instead of heading tag. There is also a question type for matching, which is mouse dependent only, with no keyboard accessibility whatsoever. You are losing about 15% of course attendees (15% less potential money) due to inaccessible UI.

Accessibility much better than other LMS, but still..


I had a few issues when I started using the plugin (mainly because I didn't RTM!) and Mike sorted these out very quickly. A great plugin that does what it says. We have already created several courses and we are developing a whole lot more. The lessons are super easy to put together, and the quizzes the same. I tried every course builder I could get my hands on before deciding to go with MasterStudy, and I'm very happy with my choice.


Great plugin, really responsive support.


This is the best LMS plugin on the market. It has everything we need, and the support team is very helpful!
