Learning Resources

A WordPress plugin for creating structured learning content, from modules and lessons to nested sub-lessons, topics, exercises and assessments.

Current features

• Hierarchical Learning Resources custom post type.
• Hierarchical Modules taxonomy for curriculum classification.
• WordPress block editor and REST API support.
• Native parent/child hierarchy and ordering through page attributes.
• Resource metadata registered for the REST API: type, estimated duration in minutes, difficulty, and learning objectives.
• Rewrite rules flushed on activation and deactivation.

Content model

Every piece of learning content is a Learning Resource. The parent/child hierarchy describes its position in the curriculum; the resource type describes what it is.

Numbering should be calculated from the hierarchy and menu order, not typed into titles.

Installation

1. Copy this repository into wp-content/plugins/learning-resources.

4. Use the parent resource selector and order controls to organise the hierarchy.

REST API

Registered resource metadata is exposed in the REST API for authenticated users with permission to edit the resource.

Roadmap

• Editor sidebar for resource metadata.
• Curriculum overview in the dashboard.
• Module, curriculum and navigation blocks.
• Breadcrumbs and previous/next navigation.
• Foundations for learner progress, exercises, quizzes and assessments.

Development

This is the initial PHP foundation. The editor UI and front-end blocks are planned next.
