Managing learner progress is crucial in any Learning Management System (LMS), but what if you could go beyond typical quiz reports and generate personalized content based on assessments?
Enter the LearnDash Magnet Add-on—a powerful tool that transforms quiz data into customizable PDF reports, perfect for a wide variety of use cases, including personality tests and lead magnets.
In this blog, we’ll explore how the LearnDash Magnet simplifies personalized PDF report creation, how it can be used to engage learners, and how it integrates seamlessly with LearnDash quizzes.
What is a LearnDash Magnet?
The LearnDash Magnet Add-on is an advanced plugin that integrates with LearnDash quizzes to generate personalized PDF reports based on quiz results. It enables administrators to configure dynamic content within the report based on various performance metrics, such as question categories and score ranges. Learners can download these PDFs immediately upon completing a quiz, or the system can automatically email the reports to them.
Key Features of LearnDash Magnet
Dynamic PDF Content: Generate personalized content based on quiz performance for different question categories and percentage ranges.
Customizable PDF Design: Add your own branding, logos, headers, and footers to the PDF reports.
Automatic Emailing: Send PDF reports automatically to learners upon quiz completion.
Customizable Email Content: Personalize the email subject and message content along with the attached PDF report.
Easy Setup: Seamlessly integrates with LearnDash, allowing you to quickly set up custom quiz reports.
Key Use Cases for LearnDash Magnet
Personality Tests and Behavioral Assessments
While LearnDash Magnet excels at generating reports from quiz assessments, it’s also perfect for creating personality tests and behavioral assessments.
By customizing the PDF content based on question categories or score ranges, administrators can offer personalized advice, feedback, or recommend resources based on a learner’s results.
This not only enhances engagement but also helps learners better understand their strengths and areas for improvement.
For example, after a personality test, the learner could receive a tailored PDF with insights into their personality type, learning style, or specific course recommendations to help them grow.
Lead Magnet for Course or Product Recommendations
In addition to learning assessments, LearnDash Magnet can be leveraged as a powerful lead magnet. Upon quiz or assessment completion, personalized PDF reports can include recommendations for relevant courses, eBooks, or other digital products based on the learner’s performance.
For example, learners who score between 70% and 90% on a quiz can receive a PDF recommending advanced courses or suggesting additional resources such as eBooks, tutorials, or even other paid content that complements their learning needs.
Custom Form Integrations for Enhanced Functionality
Instead of needing complex integrations with tools like Gravity Forms or Typeform, LearnDash Magnet simplifies the process. By working directly with LearnDash quizzes, you can streamline report generation and avoid the complications of using third-party tools—ideal for course creators seeking a more efficient system.
This feature makes LearnDash Magnet ideal for users who want to streamline their reporting process without the need for third-party tools.
Membership Sites & Corporate Training Programs
LearnDash Magnet is particularly valuable for membership websites and corporate training programs, where personalized reports play a crucial role in tracking member or employee progress. With LearnDash Magnet, administrators can create detailed, performance-based reports that recommend next steps or curated resources.
For example, in a corporate training scenario, employees who score highly on a compliance quiz could automatically receive a PDF with certifications and suggested advanced training programs. Membership sites could use similar reports to offer members specialized content based on their engagement and skill levels.
Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Personalized PDF Reports
Step 1: Installing and Configuring the LearnDash Magnet Add-on
To get started, download the LearnDash Magnet Add-on from your TeknoFlair account, then upload and activate it through your WordPress dashboard. Here’s a quick breakdown of the setup process:
Activate License Key:
Navigate to Lead Magnet Plugin > License.
Enter your email and license key to activate the plugin.
Click Activate to enable all premium features and receive updates.
Once installed, you’re ready to customize your reports!
Step 2: Configuring Content for PDF Reports
LearnDash Magnet allows administrators to create highly personalized PDF content based on quiz performance. Let’s dive into how to set up custom content:
Content Settings:
Navigate to Lead Magnet > Content Settings.
Choose a Question Category from the dropdown (e.g., Grammar, Math, etc.).
Define the percentage range that will trigger specific content (e.g., from 50% to 75%).
Use the WP editor to write content for that range. This might include personalized feedback, learning tips, or congratulatory messages.
Save your settings. These content blocks will automatically populate the PDF report based on the learner’s quiz performance.
Example: If a student scores between 60% and 80% on a grammar quiz, you could display specific advice on improving sentence structure or offer additional resources for that range.
Step 3: Customizing the PDF Report Design
Now that you’ve configured your dynamic content, it’s time to customize the look and feel of the PDF:
PDF Settings:
Navigate to Lead Magnet > PDF Settings.
Upload your logo and add custom header and footer text to brand the report.
Define additional content that appears in every report, such as an introductory paragraph or educational resources.
This feature allows you to fully brand the PDF report, maintaining a professional and cohesive appearance across all learner interactions.
Step 4: Configuring Email Settings
In addition to allowing learners to download their reports, LearnDash Magnet can send the PDF report directly to the learner’s email upon quiz completion. Here’s how to configure this:
Email Settings:
Navigate to Lead Magnet > Email Settings.
Enable the Send PDF on Quiz Completion checkbox.
Customize the email subject and body content using the WP editor.
Define the sender’s name and email to ensure the email looks professional.
The email will automatically attach the personalized PDF, allowing learners to receive immediate feedback on their performance.
Step 5: Adding Custom Fields for Learner Data
To ensure accurate delivery of reports, LearnDash Magnet allows you to collect essential learner information before starting the quiz:
Custom Fields:
Navigate to Lead Magnet > Custom Fields.
Select the quiz for which you want to add custom fields.
By default, learners will be asked to provide their Username and Email before starting the quiz.
These fields ensure that the PDF report is accurately generated for the learner and can be delivered to the correct email address.
Step 6: Generating and Downloading the PDF Report
Once the learner completes the quiz, LearnDash Magnet processes the quiz results and generates the personalized PDF report. The learner can immediately download the report by clicking the Download PDF button, or it will be emailed automatically based on your email settings.
Why LearnDash Magnet is a Game-Changer for Quiz Reporting
While LearnDash provides basic quiz reports through ProPanel and CSV exports, LearnDash Magnet takes reporting to the next level by offering:
Personalized Feedback: Tailor feedback based on a learner’s specific performance across multiple question categories.
Professional Design: Customizable PDF designs allow you to maintain your branding across all learner reports.
Automated Report Delivery: No need for manual intervention. Reports are automatically generated and sent directly to the learner.
Improved Engagement: Offering personalized feedback in a professional PDF format can improve learner engagement and motivation, helping them to understand their strengths and areas for improvement.
Comparison with Other Reporting Add-ons
Other LearnDash add-ons like Quiz Reports Pro or WISDM Reports offer robust reporting features, but they often lack the automation and personalization provided by LearnDash Magnet. For example:
LearnDash Quiz Reports Pro allows administrators to generate CSV reports, but it doesn’t provide personalized PDF reports that can be branded and customized.
WISDM Reports is great for offering a detailed breakdown of quiz results to students, but it doesn’t offer automated PDF generation and email functionality.
With LearnDash Magnet, you get a more comprehensive solution that not only automated report generation but also delivers personalized feedback to each learner in a professional format.
