The idea is great but the customization that comes with Wordpress is too valuable for many course creators.

A hosted LMS like this with a Wordpress integration to allow best of both worlds is what the industry needs.

Totally. For creators that want the ability to fine tune the experience, a plugin is probably better.

The problem arises when you start to duct-tape too many solutions together. This creates a very fragmented experiences for students and a large amount of admin overhead of course creators.

When this happens, we almost always see creators drop the wordpress plugin in favor of an existing platform.
