Academy LMS is a free, full-featured LMS that registers courses, lessons and quizzes as custom posts and writes enrolment and progress records to its own tables. The admin offers per-course screens with enrolment counts and a global Reports section, plus standard WordPress lists for the custom posts. That suits the per-course workflow. It is less helpful when a course operator needs to read the whole catalog at once: 'are enrolments holding up?', 'which course has the worst completion rate?', 'how does launch week compare against last month?'

SleekView Charts reads the Academy LMS course custom posts and enrolment records directly. A Number card surfaces enrolments in the last 30 days. A Pie splits enrolments across courses so a few top sellers separate from a long tail. A Bar groups average completion per course so a stuck course is visible. An Area trends enrolments over time so a launch reads as a shape on the chart, not as a row count.

The chart view and table view share the same dataset. Filter to active enrolments or to one cohort and both surfaces narrow together. No exports to a spreadsheet, no separate analytics service.

Academy LMS is generous with features for a free plugin and writes a reasonable amount of structured data: courses, lessons, enrolments, progress. The bottleneck is reporting. The plugin's per-course screens and Reports tab are paginated tables, which are useful but never aggregate into a portfolio-level answer.

Course operators need to see catalog health on one screen: enrolment count, course mix, completion percentages and an enrolment trend. SleekView Charts reads the same data Academy LMS already stores and renders those four answers as cards. The plugin keeps owning the LMS work.

The dashboard layer turns its data into something a stakeholder can read at a glance, without exporting anything into a separate reporting tool.
