SleekView Kanban for LearnDash
SleekView Kanban reads your LearnDash user progress and course access records, groups them by progress status into columns like Not Started, In Progress, Completed, and Failed, and lets you drag any learner card to update their state in place.

LearnDash progress lives in scattered tables
LearnDash stores course enrollment and progress across several tables. User course access lives in wp_usermeta with keys like course_*_access_from, while step completion writes to the wp_learndash_user_activity and wp_learndash_user_activity_meta tables. The default admin reports surface aggregates, but they do not give you a visual board you can scan to see which learners are stuck, which ones just finished, and which ones never started.
SleekView Kanban reads directly from wp_learndash_user_activity and joins it against course and quiz definitions. The natural column to group by is the activity activity_status field combined with activity_type, which gives you stages such as Not Started, In Progress, Completed, and Failed for any course or quiz. Card fronts show learner name, course title, current lesson, and time spent so you can triage at a glance.
Drag a learner card from In Progress to Completed and SleekView writes the new completion record back to LearnDash through its public API, so course access updates and certificate triggers fire normally. Failed quiz attempts and abandoned cohorts stay in their own columns, which makes follow-up emails and re-enrollment outreach much easier to plan.

Comparison
Default LearnDash reports vs SleekView Kanban
Default LearnDash reports
- Built-in reports show counts and percentages but no per-learner visual board
- ProPanel adds activity feeds but groups by recency, not by progress stage
- No drag-to-update, status changes require opening each user profile
- Filtering by course plus status plus group needs three separate report screens
- CSV exports flatten the data, killing the visual cue you get from a status board
SleekView Kanban

Features
What SleekView Kanban gives you for LearnDash
Native LearnDash data model
SleekView understands LearnDash's activity table, quiz attempts, and group enrollments out of the box. You get courses, lessons, topics, and quizzes as first-class fields without writing custom joins or remembering meta key names.
Drag to update progress safely
Moving a card calls LearnDash's official progress functions, so completion hooks, certificate triggers, and email notifications still fire. Staff can advance, complete, or reset a learner without opening the user profile screen.
Multi-axis filtering before render
Combine course, group, date range, and quiz score thresholds in one filter strip. The board re-groups instantly, which lets you scan a single cohort, a single instructor, or one quiz failure pattern in seconds.
Audience
LearnDash teams use the kanban for these jobs
Cohort triage every Monday
Course managers open the board filtered to this week's cohort, see who never started, and trigger a nudge email straight from the card menu before the first live session.
Quiz failure follow-up
The Failed column groups every learner who missed a passing score so support can offer one-on-one help or extra study materials before the retake window closes for that course.
Certificate hand-off review
Just-completed learners stay in the Completed column for seven days, which lets the team verify certificates fired, names are spelled right, and the LMS sent the welcome-to-alumni email.
The bigger picture
Why a kanban beats a LearnDash report
Default LearnDash reports answer aggregate questions well. They tell you how many learners enrolled, how many completed, and what the average quiz score was. They do not help when the real question is which specific people are stuck on lesson four of the Gutenberg course this week.
A kanban view changes the unit of attention from numbers to people. Each card is one learner, each column is one stage, and the eye can scan eighty cards in seconds and notice the three names that have not moved in ten days. That is the moment a course manager catches a learner before they churn.
The drag-to-update mechanic also collapses what used to be a multi-step admin task. Marking a learner complete used to mean opening the user profile, picking the course, scrolling to the progress section, ticking the box, and saving. With the kanban, it is one drag and the same LearnDash hooks fire.
Multiply that by a hundred learners and the support team gets a real hour back each week.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Kanban for LearnDash
Yes. SleekView reads the LearnDash group taxonomy and lets you filter the board to a single group before it renders. Cohort managers usually pin a saved view per group so each one opens straight to their own learners with no extra clicks.
Yes. SleekView calls LearnDash's public progress functions rather than writing rows directly. That means certificate triggers, course access tier updates, completion emails, and any custom hooks you have wired to learndash_course_completed all run exactly as they would from the standard admin screens.
Yes. Switch the source to the quiz attempt view and SleekView groups attempts by status, which usually means In Progress, Passed, Failed, and Pending Review for essay questions. Card fronts show the score, time taken, and which quiz was attempted.
Yes. The kanban reads the underlying LearnDash activity table the same way regardless of which front-end or commerce layer enrolled the learner. WooCommerce subscription renewals and BuddyBoss group sync both update the activity table, which SleekView re-renders on its next refresh.
By default the board refreshes every sixty seconds, and it can also push updates in real time when LearnDash fires its progress hooks. You can change the polling interval per board, so a triage board can update every fifteen seconds while a long-term cohort board refreshes hourly.
Yes. SleekView respects WordPress roles and capabilities. You can scope a board to learners assigned to a specific instructor, and you can hide drag-to-update for support roles that should only view progress, not change it. Audit logs record every card move with the editing user.
Yes. Essay submissions show up in a Pending Review column. Graders can open the card to read the response, mark a score, and drag to Passed or Failed. SleekView writes the grade back through LearnDash's quiz attempt API so the score history stays consistent.
SleekView paginates each column server-side and only renders the cards currently visible, so even a course with twenty thousand active learners stays responsive. You can also filter to a cohort or date range first, which is what most teams do for daily triage anyway.
