You can follow our tutorial video to navigate the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=k-6EvlsXCPc\">installation and license activation of Tutor LMS Pro<\/a>. With all that finished, we can go on to the next stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-designing-your-elearning-website\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Designing_Your_eLearning_Website\"><\/span>Designing Your eLearning Website<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once we have installed our LMS plugin, we must choose a theme for the online course website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The design needs to attract consumers and help provide the authority needed to encourage people to sign up for courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following that, our suggestion for the theme would be Tutor Starter. This theme is not only free but also designed to be used with Tutor LMS. That makes life a whole lot easier for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To install Tutor Starter from the WordPress admin panel, find the Appearance tab. From there, click on Add New and search for \u201cTutor Starter\u201d. Go ahead and hit install and activate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1110\" height=\"544\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Install-the-TutorStarter-theme-1110x544.png\" alt=\"Install the TutorStarter theme\" class=\"wp-image-4456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Install-the-TutorStarter-theme-1110x544.png 1110w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Install-the-TutorStarter-theme-300x147.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Install-the-TutorStarter-theme-768x376.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Install-the-TutorStarter-theme-1536x752.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Install-the-TutorStarter-theme-2048x1003.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Install-the-TutorStarter-theme-24x12.png 24w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Install-the-TutorStarter-theme-36x18.png 36w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Install-the-TutorStarter-theme-48x24.png 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1110px) 100vw, 1110px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We need to add one more plugin before we can start utilizing Tutor Starter properly. As we did with the other plugins, navigate to Plugins > Add new and search for TutorMate. TutorMate is a companion demo importer plugin for the Tutor Starter theme, so go ahead and install and activate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are now geared up and ready to go. Let&#8217;s add a starter pack from Tutor Starter to our WordPress site. From the WordPress admin panel, go to Tutor Starter > Starter sites. Here we can find 4 unique demo starter sites for different types of sites. The neat thing about starter sites is that they load our site with prebuilt content so we can see what&#8217;s what.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1110\" height=\"543\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TutorStarter-Theme-Starter-Sites-1110x543.png\" alt=\"TutorStarter-Theme-Starter-Sites\" class=\"wp-image-4467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TutorStarter-Theme-Starter-Sites-1110x543.png 1110w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TutorStarter-Theme-Starter-Sites-300x147.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TutorStarter-Theme-Starter-Sites-768x376.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TutorStarter-Theme-Starter-Sites-1536x751.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TutorStarter-Theme-Starter-Sites-2048x1002.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TutorStarter-Theme-Starter-Sites-24x12.png 24w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TutorStarter-Theme-Starter-Sites-36x18.png 36w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TutorStarter-Theme-Starter-Sites-48x23.png 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1110px) 100vw, 1110px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We can even preview the site before importing it.

This will bring up this pop-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1110\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Select-your-preferred-builder-1110x681.png\" alt=\"Select your preferred builder\" class=\"wp-image-4463\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Select-your-preferred-builder-1110x681.png 1110w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Select-your-preferred-builder-300x184.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Select-your-preferred-builder-768x471.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Select-your-preferred-builder-1536x942.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Select-your-preferred-builder-24x15.png 24w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Select-your-preferred-builder-36x22.png 36w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Select-your-preferred-builder-48x29.png 48w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Select-your-preferred-builder.png 1999w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1110px) 100vw, 1110px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From here, we can choose to launch with Elementor or the Gutenberg page builder. Let\u2019s go ahead and run this article with Gutenberg. Luckily, Tutor Starter shows us which plugins\/add-ons are missing when we try to make this installation. If we are missing Qubely or WooCommerce, they will be automatically installed and activated. Since we had already installed and activated Tutor LMS, we would see that it is active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the import is complete, click the \u201cView your site\u201d button to see our page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1110\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Template-import-successfull-1110x698.png\" alt=\"Template import successfull\" class=\"wp-image-4464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Template-import-successfull-1110x698.png 1110w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Template-import-successfull-300x189.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Template-import-successfull-768x483.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Template-import-successfull-1536x966.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Template-import-successfull-24x15.png 24w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Template-import-successfull-36x23.png 36w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Template-import-successfull-48x30.png 48w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Template-import-successfull.png 1999w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1110px) 100vw, 1110px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-creating-elearning-courses-with-tutor-lms\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Creating_eLearning_Courses_With_Tutor_LMS\"><\/span>Creating eLearning Courses With Tutor LMS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that we have our plugin and theme ready, it\u2019s time to start creating content for the LMS website! Let\u2019s go over how we can add, edit, and sell courses to the world. To set up courses, navigate to WP Admin &gt; Tutor LMS &gt; Courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the courses menu, click Add New to add a new course to the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After that, we are brought to the Backend Course Builder. We can enter the course name, add a course description and a video (if necessary), and more in this section. Give the course a descriptive title and subtitle to help readers understand what they are enrolling in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We can also set the number of students who can enroll in the course and determine the difficulty level of our course content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is also a featured image section we can use to show students what the course is about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1110\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Backend-course-editor-of-Tutor-LMS-1110x574.png\" alt=\"Backend course editor of Tutor LMS\" class=\"wp-image-4452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Backend-course-editor-of-Tutor-LMS-1110x574.png 1110w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Backend-course-editor-of-Tutor-LMS-300x155.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Backend-course-editor-of-Tutor-LMS-768x397.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Backend-course-editor-of-Tutor-LMS-1536x794.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Backend-course-editor-of-Tutor-LMS-2048x1058.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Backend-course-editor-of-Tutor-LMS-24x12.png 24w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Backend-course-editor-of-Tutor-LMS-36x19.png 36w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Backend-course-editor-of-Tutor-LMS-48x25.png 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1110px) 100vw, 1110px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Tutor LMS Pro, we can quickly and easily create courses using the drag-and-drop Frontend Course Builder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We gave our course a description and titles, but it&#8217;s far from complete. The next step would be to add lessons and quizzes to give it real substance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-enhancing-courses-for-students\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Enhancing_Courses_for_Students\"><\/span>Enhancing Courses for Students<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A crucial aspect of our course involves evaluating our students through effective quizzes. Quizzes are designed to help learners retain the knowledge they have acquired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To achieve this, we can utilize the powerful Quiz Builder provided by Tutor LMS, which offers 10 different quiz types and extensive customization options. One notable feature is the ability to set limits and timers for quizzes, along with an auto-grading system that provides instant feedback to students. This allows them to conveniently take quizzes at their own pace, with grades displayed automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, let&#8217;s address how we can get started. Here are the steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-1-adding-a-new-topic\">Step 1: Adding a New Topic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To begin creating the quiz, we need to add a topic to our course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We navigate to the course creation page and:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Scroll down to find the Course Builder section.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Within the Course Builder, click on &#8220;Add New Topic&#8221; to create a new topic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then, click on &#8220;Add Topic&#8221; to proceed to the next phase.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1110\" height=\"847\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Add-new-topic-of-Tutor-LMS-1110x847.png\" alt=\"Add new topic of Tutor LMS\" class=\"wp-image-4451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Add-new-topic-of-Tutor-LMS-1110x847.png 1110w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Add-new-topic-of-Tutor-LMS-300x229.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Add-new-topic-of-Tutor-LMS-768x586.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Add-new-topic-of-Tutor-LMS-1536x1173.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Add-new-topic-of-Tutor-LMS-24x18.png 24w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Add-new-topic-of-Tutor-LMS-36x27.png 36w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Add-new-topic-of-Tutor-LMS-48x37.png 48w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Add-new-topic-of-Tutor-LMS.png 1598w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1110px) 100vw, 1110px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-2-creating-a-lesson\">Step 2: Creating a Lesson<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After creating the Topic, we can now have lessons for our course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To create a lesson, click on the topic we have created, and you will now see a new Lesson button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Click on that, and we will see a pop-up window where we can add the lesson details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1110\" height=\"746\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Lesson-adding-procedure-on-Tutor-LMS--1110x746.png\" alt=\"Lesson adding procedure on Tutor LMS\" class=\"wp-image-4459\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Lesson-adding-procedure-on-Tutor-LMS--1110x746.png 1110w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Lesson-adding-procedure-on-Tutor-LMS--300x202.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Lesson-adding-procedure-on-Tutor-LMS--768x516.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Lesson-adding-procedure-on-Tutor-LMS--1536x1032.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Lesson-adding-procedure-on-Tutor-LMS--2048x1376.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Lesson-adding-procedure-on-Tutor-LMS--24x16.png 24w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Lesson-adding-procedure-on-Tutor-LMS--36x24.png 36w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Lesson-adding-procedure-on-Tutor-LMS--48x32.png 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1110px) 100vw, 1110px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lessons are the most content-dense part of a course. This is where one would upload educational texts and videos for students. A lesson works best when it is taught by someone, so instead of uploading texts or pre-recorded videos for students, we recommend scheduling meetings with the class.
