It's not easy to try to revolutionize eLearning and online training, but that's just what Joshua Millage of Lifter LMS is trying to do. Joshua and I have a lot in common, which we talk about in the podcast. He has a passion to help teach more effectively, which is refreshing, since many people in the online course creation industry seem to be only trying to make money. But, if we truly seek to teach effectively, then our courses will be more effective and in turn we'll make more money. It goes back to the Zig Ziglar quote, "You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help enough other people get what they want." [Tweet "You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help enough other people get what they want." - Zig Ziglar"] There are a LOT of Learning Management System (LMS) options out there but just only a few options that integrate with WordPress. The Lifter LMS plugin for WordPress is one of the few that works easily to set up and create your first course and they are constantly adding more features. I learned about this LMS plugin for WordPress and paid for it, even while it was still in development...that's how much I believe in it. And while talking with Joshua on the podcast, I know that this WordPress LMS plugin will do great things for those that are wanting to create online courses, eLearning material or training content. It has robust features, yet is easy to manage, even for someone with limited website creation experience.
