Stedica LMS turns a WordPress site into a full training platform, with no external\nservice required.<\/p>\n\n
For learners<\/strong>\nCourse catalog and self-enrolment, a course player with resume, progress tracking and\ndrip-released lessons, eight quiz types, certificates, leaderboards and achievements.<\/p>\n\n For instructors<\/strong>\nA drag-and-drop course builder (lessons and topics: text, video, audio, document, SCORM,\nH5P, quiz, assignment), a reusable question bank, a grading queue with a visual rubric\ngrid, a weighted gradebook, and per-learner and per-course progress with CSV export.<\/p>\n\n For administrators<\/strong>\nRoles and capabilities, white-label branding, editable categories and levels, and an\naudit log covering 27 action types.<\/p>\n\n Selling courses<\/strong>\nLink a WooCommerce product to a course: the buyer is enrolled on payment and access is\nrevoked on refund. No external service and no subscription required.<\/p>\n\n Standards<\/strong>\nSCORM 1.2 and 2004 import and runtime, with resume and HTTP Range media streaming.<\/p>\n\n Stedica LMS is distributed under the GNU General Public License. The plugin's own code is\nGPL-3.0-or-later.<\/p>\n\n It bundles third-party components under their own compatible licences, and two of them are\nworth naming because they are stricter than the plugin's own: the Freemius SDK in\n vendor\/freemius\/ is GPL-3.0-only, and dompdf's rendering library in Both This plugin connects to one external service, and only for licensing.<\/p>\n\n Freemius<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Freemius handles licensing, the free trial and update delivery for the optional paid\nadd-on, Stedica LMS Premium. The licensing SDK is bundled in this plugin.<\/p>\n\n Nothing is sent until you choose to send it.<\/em> On a fresh install the plugin runs in\nanonymous mode: no request is made to Freemius and no data leaves your site. Requests\nbegin only when you opt in to Freemius' service, start the free trial, or activate a\nlicence key \u2014 each of which is an explicit action you take.<\/p>\n\n Once you have opted in, the following is sent to Freemius:<\/p>\n\n No learner data, course content, grades or quiz results are ever sent.<\/p>\n\n If you never opt in, the plugin remains fully functional and contacts nothing. The paid\nadd-on is the only thing that requires it.<\/p>\n\n Service provided by Freemius, Inc.\nTerms of Service: https:\/\/freemius.com\/terms\/\nPrivacy Policy: https:\/\/freemius.com\/privacy\/<\/p>\n\n Authorization is enforced server-side on every REST route and every admin screen \u2014\nhiding a menu item is never treated as access control. Learner-owned resources are\nownership-checked to prevent enumeration by id. Quiz answer keys never leave the\nserver. Protected files (SCORM assets, submissions, certificates) are served through a\nPHP proxy that derives authorization from the request path, because a SCORM package's\nrelative sub-resource requests cannot carry a token. Grades are clamped server-side.\nSecrets are masked in every API response, and are encrypted at rest when the PHP\nOpenSSL extension is available (it is on virtually all hosts; without it they are stored\nunencrypted and only the masking applies).<\/p>\n\n For learners: Stedica LMS Premium, a separate add-on, adds For staff: Every surface is also a block<\/strong> \u2014 search \"Stedica\" in the inserter \u2014 and an Elementor\nwidget<\/strong>, found under a Stedica LMS category with a dropdown for which surface to show.\nAll three render through the same code, so they behave identically.<\/p>\n\n\n Certificates are rendered as PDF by dompdf, which ships inside this plugin. There is\nnothing to install and no external service involved. If the library cannot be loaded \u2014\na source checkout with no dependencies installed, for instance \u2014 certificates fall back\nto printable HTML and every other feature is unaffected.<\/p>\n\n\n No. Data is preserved unless you explicitly tick \"Remove all data on uninstall\" in\nSettings before removing the plugin.<\/p><\/dd>\n Only to sell courses. Edit a WooCommerce product and pick the course it grants from\nthe Stedica LMS panel; enrolment happens when the order completes, and entitlement is\nalways checked server-side. Refunds and cancellations revoke that access again.<\/p><\/dd>\n LTI and xAPI are not implemented and are not planned. The LTI topic type is retired in\nthe course builder, and a course still holding one is flagged as needing replacement. H5P\nis supported as an embed rather than a bundled runtime. Selling runs\nthrough WooCommerce; there is no native card checkout in this plugin. There is no PWA\nsupport. The plugin ships a translation template (languages\/stedica-lms.pot) but no\ntranslations.<\/p>\n\n These features are not in this plugin and are not disabled versions of anything here \u2014\nAI assistance, instructor-led sessions with seats and waitlists, competency frameworks,\nmulti-course learning paths, native Stripe checkout with subscriptions and coupons,\noutbound webhooks, cohort analytics with at-risk scoring, and the append-only completion\nregister with recertification and CEU credits. They are a separate paid add-on, and the\ncode for them is absent from this download rather than switched off.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n Older releases are in License<\/h3>\n\n
vendor\/dompdf\/<\/code> is\nLGPL-2.1. Taken as a whole, therefore, this distribution is effectively GPL-3.0 without the\n\"or later\" option, because one of its components does not offer it.<\/p>\n\nLICENSE<\/code> (GPLv3, the licence this plugin is under) and LICENSE-GPL-2.0.txt<\/code> (included\nbecause WordPress itself is GPLv2-or-later and the directory asks for a compatible licence)\nship in the package. GPLv3 is compatible with that requirement.<\/p>\n\nExternal services<\/h3>\n\n

Both are safe to put on an\nordinary page \u2014 each shows only what the person viewing it is entitled to see, and a\nvisitor with no such role sees a plain explanation rather than an error.<\/p>\n\n\n
