How do I add an online “community” to my self study online courses?

There are many ways to add a community to your online courses website. You can install the LifterLMS Social Learning add-on which adds advanced user profiles, a timeline, member directory, and more. LifterLMS also has native integration with the bbpress forum plugin and the the BuddyPress social networking plugin.  The BuddyBoss Pro plugin and theme also provide community options to your LifterLMS powered website. Some people use private Facebook Groups paired with their LifterLMS website as well.
