LifterLMS just released a new feature in the core free LifterLMS plugin that allows learners to “heart” ❤️ and save their favorite lessons.
Allowing learners to interact with the lesson content through actions like “favoriting” increases engagement.
When learners favorite a lesson, this also provides valuable feedback to the course creator in terms of what content is most useful and valued.
How Favorites Works
To enable the ability for learners to favorite a lesson, simply enable the feature in the LifterLMS settings under the courses settings.
Now learners can favorite a lesson from either the lesson content or the course syllabus by clicking the heart icon.
Once favorited by a user, the heart icon will turn red.
A favorites count is also displayed so website visitors can tell which lessons are the most popular.
Why Use Favorites?
Social proof is a powerful form of marketing and influence.
