Engaging learners

Skill Forge keeps learners going and shows you what works. Everything here is under the LMS menu in your WordPress dashboard, which administrators can open.

The LMS screens

• Overview: the school at a glance.
• Engagement: who is at risk of stopping, reminder settings and your AI key.
• Students: every learner with their courses, progress, certificates and work.
• Course reports: where learners stop in each course, which quiz questions they get wrong, and sales.
• Instructors, Certificates and Submissions: the people who teach, every certificate issued, and the projects waiting for a grade.
• Certificate design: the certificate's template, colour, logo, words and signature, with a live preview.

Streaks and weekly goals

Learners see on their dashboard how many days in a row they have studied, and how many lectures they have finished this week against their own weekly goal.

Reminders

A learner who has not studied for a set number of days, or has left a course unfinished, gets an email and a notification. It tells them where they were and what comes next. Reminders go at most once a week and never after the learner unsubscribes. Under Engagement you can see who is at risk and remind them in one click.

Drip content

In a course's curriculum (Courses → edit → Curriculum), a section can open a set number of days after the learner enrolls, or once the section before it is done.

AI quiz writer

Add your own OpenAI or Anthropic key under LMS → Engagement. In the curriculum editor, a quiz lecture can then write its questions from a lecture's text. Check and edit them before you save.

Search

The search page shows the courses whose title, subtitle or category match the words, plus matching categories and blog articles.
