Have you ever thought about delivering online courses through WordPress? I know I have, a heap, and until now that’s been a hell of a difficult experience going through rubbish (and often expensive) plugins. But no longer…<\/p>\n

Editors note: We released CoursePress back in 2014 and while you can no longer download it at WordPress.org or WPMU DEV you can from Github<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

CoursePress<\/a> allows you to easily create, manage and sell beautiful courses from right in WordPress, and best of all it’s completely free.<\/p>\n

First up, CoursePress comes with pretty much every element you could imagine needing to construct a course – ranging from video, audio, and downloads to interactive elements like multiple choice, uploads, long-form answers, forum-style discussions, and even live chat integration right there in your course (for live seminars or students just to hang out).<\/p>\n

Every element you could want for a great course<\/small><\/p>\n

Then we’ve made it really really simple to set up an absolutely beautiful<\/em> course, both in terms of the UX and the front end output.<\/p>\n
