## Description

**CourseBoost** helps online course creators turn enrolled learners into course 
completers.

Low completion rates are the #1 problem for online course creators. Learners sign
up with good intentions but drift away. CourseBoost solves this with two core tools:

#### Automated Email Reminders

Automatically email learners who haven’t logged in for a set number of days (default:
7). Bring them back before they forget about the course entirely.

 * Set your own inactivity threshold (1–90 days)
 * One reminder per learner per day, per course
 * Full send log in your dashboard
 * Manual trigger for testing

#### Learner Progress Dashboard

A clean progress bar displayed on the course page showing:

 * Lessons completed vs. total lessons
 * Percentage complete
 * Motivational message that changes based on progress

#### Supported LMS Plugins

 * Tutor LMS (free & pro)
 * LearnDash
 * LifterLMS

### External Services

This plugin connects to the Anthropic Claude API to power the AI Course Assistant
feature.

**What it does:** When a logged-in learner submits a question on a course page, 
the question text and a summary of the course content (lesson titles and text) are
sent to Anthropic’s API. The API returns an AI-generated answer which is displayed
to the learner.

**When data is sent:** Only when a learner actively submits a question via the AI
Course Assistant chat widget. No data is sent automatically.

**What data is sent:** The learner’s question text and course content excerpts (
lesson titles and body text, up to 500 characters per lesson). No personally identifiable
information is sent.

**Service provider:** Anthropic, PBC
 – Terms of Service: https://www.anthropic.
com/legal/consumer-terms – Privacy Policy: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy

Note: The AI Course Assistant requires the site administrator to provide their own
Anthropic API key. This plugin does not provide API access.

## Installation

 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress
 3. Go to **CourseBoost** in the admin sidebar

## FAQ

### Which LMS plugins are supported?

Tutor LMS, LearnDash, and LifterLMS. Full feature support for Tutor LMS in the free
version.

### When are reminder emails sent?

Once per day via WordPress cron (WP-Cron), at midnight server time. You can also
trigger them manually from the CourseBoost dashboard.

### Will learners receive multiple emails per day?

No. CourseBoost logs every send and skips learners who already received a reminder
today.

### How do I show the progress bar on my course page?

It appears automatically on Tutor LMS course pages. You can also use the shortcode`[
courseboost_progress]` anywhere.
