Manage Students

There are two ways to manage students in MasterStudy LMS:

1. Students Tab - here you can check the whole students list from all courses and take necessary actions (removing from the course, exporting list to CSV file, etc). Best for managing students globally.

2. Manage Students tab in Courses Page - here you can perform several actions related to the course progress of the enrolled students for that specific course.

Also, instructors have a special interface in their dashboard without accessing the backend.

Students Tab

To access the students tab, follow the WP Dashboard > MS LMS > Students:

Here is the breakdown of the table by columns:

• Student Name - displays the name of the student.

• Email - registered student email address.

• Joined - the date students registered on your LMS.

• Course enrolled - the number of courses a student enrolled in.

• Points - if you have enabled the Point System on your LMS, in this column, students' earned points will be displayed.

At the top of the page, there are sorting and filtering options:

Remove Students

Selected students can be removed from your website by clicking the Remove Selected button:

THIS ACTION CAN NOT BE UNDONE!

This button removes the selected student from ALL COURSES they have enrolled in. Their course progress will also be lost permanently. However, the student account stays on your website, which means they can enroll again to courses.

The system will ask for your permission again, and after the confirmation, they will be removed:

Reports for the Selected Student

You can access the detailed analytics about the student simply by clicking the View button at the end of each row:

On the opened page, you can find all information about the students, such as Revenue from the student, purchased membership plans, orders made, courses enrolled, a detailed overview of the courses, lessons, quizzes, and assignments completed or failed, reviews given, and more:

Export Students CSV

You can export the students' list by clicking the Export CSV button. In the CSV file, students' email, first name, last name, course ID, and the course title they enrolled in will be included.

Clicking this button will export the entire student list, regardless of whether any students are selected or which page you're on. Selections and pagination do not affect the export.

To limit the number of exported students, apply filters such as course, date range, or other available criteria before exporting.

Manage Students Tab in Courses Page

In this method, you can perform several actions related to the course progress of the enrolled students for the specific course.

Managing students as an Admin

Managing Students as an Instructor

First, as an admin, make sure you have given permissions to instructors to access the students' page and add students to courses by email. This can be done by following WP Dashboard > MS LMS > Settings > Profiles > General:

Instructors can view and manage students only for the courses they teach. They do not have access to students enrolled in other instructors' courses.

Instructors can access the Students page from their dashboard:

Similar to administrators, instructors also have access to manage students. To do so:

1. Open the instructor dashboard.

2. Scroll down to the courses section.

3. Hover over the course for which you want to manage students.

4. Click on the Manage Students button

Settings are completely the same as the admin:
