Do you know if Webflow has a feature to save user progress in an online course?

Webflow does not have a built-in feature specifically designed to save user progress in an online course. However, there are a few workarounds and third-party integrations you can use to achieve this functionality. Here are some options:

  1. Use a Learning Management System (LMS): Integrate your Webflow website with an LMS platform, such as Moodle or LearnDash. These systems provide comprehensive course management functionalities, including progress tracking, completion certificates, quizzes, and more. You can embed the LMS into your Webflow site to seamlessly integrate it with your design.

  2. Utilize form submissions: One way to save user progress is by having users fill out a form at the end of each lesson or course section. You can create a form in Webflow and capture user information, such as their name, email, and progress status, with each form submission. This data can then be stored in your Webflow database or sent to a third-party service like Google Sheets or Airtable.

  • To implement this, create a form with fields that capture the necessary information.
  • Use Webflow's form submission settings to choose where the data will be stored.
  • Set up a success message or redirect users to a specific page to indicate progress saved.
  • You can also consider using conditional visibility in Webflow to display the next lesson or course section based on the user's progress.
  1. Implement cookies or local storage: With the help of JavaScript, you can use cookies or local storage to store and retrieve user progress data. When a user completes a section or lesson, you can save a marker or value in their browser. The next time the user visits the course page, you can retrieve this information and show the appropriate content or progress tracking.
  • Use JavaScript to save the progress marker in the user's browser, either as a cookie or using the local storage feature.
  • Retrieve the saved marker on subsequent visits and use it to determine the user's progress.
  • Update the content or UI dynamically based on the progress data retrieved.

These workarounds require some technical knowledge and development work, but they can provide a solution to save user progress in your Webflow online course. Consider your specific requirements and choose the method that aligns with your technical expertise and the user experience you want to provide.
