SEV Instructor Cockpit for LearnDash

SEV Instructor Cockpit for LearnDash is a companion plugin for LearnDash LMS and its “Instructor Role” add-on (wdm_instructor), which is included with LearnDash’s Elite plan. It powers a separate, modern Instructor Cockpit interface where instructors can see their courses, manage enrolled participants, and look up users to add to a course.

This is an independent, unofficial add-on and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by LearnDash, the maker of both LearnDash LMS and the “Instructor Role” plugin. “LearnDash” is a trademark of its respective owner and is used here only to describe compatibility.

What’s included (free)

• A modern Instructor Cockpit interface: course list; course detail with a drag-and-drop structure editor, participant management, status, and featured image; and a “Building Blocks” view of every lesson, topic, and quiz across an instructor’s courses.
• A Dashboard: course overview, participant activity (including a 7-day active-learners trend), and a per-course learning-progress table.
• A Users tab: search, sort, and a detail page for every user, plus lookup (by name/email, not just users already enrolled) to add someone to a course.
• Self-service two-factor authentication (authenticator app + backup codes) from an “Edit Profile” page, if the separate “Two-Factor” plugin is installed.
• REST endpoints backing the dashboard: user lookup, LearnDash’s custom post-type labels (so the dashboard matches whatever terminology your site uses for “Course”/”Lesson”/etc.), and the essay/assignment data used by the Pro add-on’s grading feature.
• Works alongside the “Instructor Role” plugin without modifying it.

SEV Instructor Cockpit for LearnDash – Pro

A separate, paid add-on plugin adds:

• Essay and assignment grading directly in the dashboard (question/lesson list, submissions, grading).
• Edit, delete, and add users directly from the dashboard, including their course and group enrollment.
• A Groups tab: view groups and manage their courses, participants, and group leaders.
• Dashboard widgets for open assignments and recent essays awaiting grading.
• A Settings > Design & Branding page: customize the site title, favicon, logo, cockpit header logo, and LearnDash’s accent colors directly from the Cockpit.

The free plugin works fully on its own; the Pro plugin is detected automatically if installed.
