Schools and institutions
Run structured courses and issue verifiable credentials
Learnomy gives your institution a complete learning platform on your own WordPress server. Structured courses, auto-graded assessments, and certificates with a permanent public verification URL - all under your control.
The challenge
Institutions need more than a video platform
Hosted course platforms are built for solo creators selling a single course. They were not designed for institutions running structured programs, assessing cohorts, and issuing credentials that employers will actually trust.
Learnomy is built for this workload. Structured courses with sections and topics, quiz types that match real assessments, certificates with a permanent public verification URL, and a REST API that connects to the systems you already use.
Student data on your server
Every enrollment, grade, and certificate lives in your own database. No third-party LMS holds your students.
Assessment-grade quizzes
Six question types with partial credit, two player layouts, and an essay grading inbox built for real assessment.
Credentials employers trust
Ed25519 signatures, a permanent verification URL, QR code, and PDF download on every certificate. Open Badges in Pro.
Integrate with your systems
A full REST API with JWT auth connects Learnomy to SIS, HRIS, and any external system your institution uses.
Built-in, no add-ons
Everything an institution needs in one plugin
Courses, assessments, certificates, and student management ship with the Free plugin. No separate payment plugin, no bolt-on certificate tool.
Structured courses
Organize content into sections, lessons, and sub-lesson topics. Seven lesson types: video, audio, PDF, embed, download, live session, and text. Protected video when the MediaShield plugin is active.
Six quiz types, auto-graded
True/false, single choice, multiple choice, short answer, fill-in-the-blank, and essay. Objective answers grade instantly with partial credit. Essays queue in an admin inbox.
Certificates with public verification
Every certificate gets a permanent URL at /verify/{uuid} with a QR code. Students share it on a resume; anyone confirms it is real with no login required.
Student accounts and progress
Every student has an account dashboard showing enrolled courses, completion, quiz scores, and earned certificates.
GDPR export and erase
Every student account supports a data export and erasure request through WordPress privacy tools. All data stays on your server.
A full REST API with JWT auth
Every data type is accessible via a REST API with JWT authentication. Connect to student information systems, HR portals, or build a companion app.
Learnomy Pro
PROFor programs, curricula, and recognized credentials
Pro extends the Free plugin with the tools institutions use to run structured programs - cohorts for class groups, learning paths for sequenced curricula, and Open Badges 3.0 credentials.
Cohorts
PROGroup students by intake or class year. Track every member's progress from one dashboard.
Learning Paths
PROBuild a full curriculum by chaining courses with enforced prerequisites. Students follow the defined sequence; you see their path progress at a glance.
Content Drip
PRORelease lessons on a fixed date, a set number of days after enrollment, or after a prerequisite is completed. Students cannot skip ahead.
Open Badges 3.0 and Credly
PROIssue standards-compliant Open Badges, push badges to Credly, and keep a local SHA-256 tamper registry.
Credential integrity
Credentials that hold up when it matters
Every Learnomy certificate ships with a permanent public verification page, a QR code, and a PDF download. The verification page shows the recipient name, course, issue date, and a Valid or Revoked status - no login required.
-
Public verification URL
/verify/{uuid} is stable for the lifetime of the credential. Anyone - an employer, another institution - can confirm it is real.
-
QR code on every certificate
Scan to open the verification page directly. A printed certificate is self-verifying.
-
Ed25519 digital signatures
Free signs every certificate, so a copy edited after issue fails the check. Pro adds a local SHA-256 tamper registry.
-
Open Badges 3.0
Pro issues a standards-compliant Open Badge for cross-platform recognition on LinkedIn, Credly, and learning networks.

Common questions
Can we issue certificates that employers and other institutions can verify?
Yes. Every certificate has a permanent public URL at /verify/{uuid} with a QR code that links directly to it. Every certificate is also Ed25519-signed in Free, so anyone can confirm it is genuine without a login. Learnomy Pro adds Open Badges 3.0, Credly and a local SHA-256 tamper registry.
How do cohorts work for a class of students?
Cohorts (Pro) group students who enroll together and share a common start date, pace, and deadline. You enroll a cohort into a course and track each member's progress individually from a single view. Pair cohorts with Content Drip (Pro) to unlock lessons on a date, a number of days after enrollment, or after a prerequisite is completed.
Can students launch a Learnomy course from Moodle or Canvas?
Yes, with the LTI 1.3 module in Learnomy Pro. Your institution's LMS launches a Learnomy course as an external tool, so a student clicks a link in Moodle, Canvas or Blackboard and lands in the course already signed in and enrolled. Quiz grades are sent back to the LMS gradebook. The module is in beta and is switched off until you enable it, so test it with your own platform before a term starts.
Does Learnomy support prerequisite sequences for a curriculum?
Yes. Learning Paths (Pro) chain courses together with configurable prerequisites. A student cannot start the next course until they complete the required one. You can build a full multi-course curriculum with a defined progression.
How are essay questions graded?
Submitted essays queue in an admin grading inbox. You assign a score and optional written feedback per response. The attempt finalizes automatically once every response has been graded. Instructors only see essays for courses they own; admins see all.
Does Learnomy meet GDPR requirements for student data?
Yes. Every student account supports a GDPR data export and a data erasure request through the built-in WordPress privacy tools. All student data - enrollments, quiz attempts, progress, transactions, certificates - lives on your own server.
Can we run Learnomy on our own servers rather than a cloud platform?
Yes. Learnomy is a WordPress plugin - install it on any server you control. Your student data never touches a third-party LMS platform.
Can we enroll our own students without selling anything?
Yes. Mark courses invite-only: they never appear in a catalog, nothing is shown for sale, and checkout refuses them. Staff enroll each student directly, which matches how a school actually admits a class roster.
Can the whole academy be private to outsiders?
Yes. Private academy mode hides your courses, and their categories and tags, from anyone who is not signed in. Search engines and signed-out visitors see nothing about your curriculum; enrolled students see everything.
Start with a complete LMS. Upgrade when you're ready.
Free includes unlimited courses, all six quiz types, the certificate designer, and a full REST API. Pro adds cohorts, learning paths, and Open Badges 3.0 credentials.
