CourseGlade Curriculum builder

Features
The full feature map
What ships in the free plugin, what the fifteen Pro addons unlock, and where the line sits. No fine print — free features stay free.
Free
Course building
Structure courses the way you teach them.
One player, every source
Self-hosted MP4, YouTube, and Vimeo lessons share the same controls — and every one of them marks the lesson complete when the video ends.
Audio lessons
Attach an audio track to a lesson. It plays in the learning area and completes the lesson when the track finishes.
Learning mode
A distraction-free view with the curriculum sidebar, progress ticks, and discussions under each lesson.
Any theme
Classic and block themes both supported, with block-theme templates for course archive, single course, and instructor profiles.
Settings export & import
Move your CourseGlade settings between sites as a portable file. The job runner resumes where it left off, and an import that went wrong can be undone.
Setup checklist
A dashboard checklist on a new site shows what is still left to configure before you sell your first course.
Free
Quizzes & assessment
Eight question types with auto and manual grading — the depth other plugins charge for.
8 question types
Single choice, multiple choice, true/false, fill-in-the-blank, short answer, essay, matching, and ordering — all in free.
Attempts & grading
Every attempt recorded. Auto-graded types score instantly; essays route to an instructor grading queue.
Free
Selling & payments

Free
Student experience
Everything a student needs lives in one dashboard.

Enrolled courses, progress, quiz attempts, orders, reviews, wishlist — one dashboard, tabs adapt to the role.

Pro
AI Studio
Course drafting, quiz writing, and thumbnails — on your own API key, with spending caps you set.
Write and rewrite any field
Draft a course, lesson, or assignment field from a brief — or rewrite what is already there, eight different ways.
Generate a whole course
From a topic: five modules of four to five lessons, each closing with a quiz and an assignment. You review it before anything is created, and can regenerate a section at a time.
Quiz questions from your material
Questions drawn from a module's own lessons, in every question type the plugin supports.
Course thumbnails
Generate a course image and preview it before it is applied.
Your own API key
Bring your own key. Usage is tracked per person, with monthly spending caps and per-minute rate limiting.
Content import & export
Move courses, lessons, quizzes, questions, curriculum, terms, and media between sites — not just settings.
