https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkGmyH4JEIQ Integrate bizExaminer into LearnDash With our LearnDash extension you can use all of the LMS features of LearnDash and handle quizzes in bizExaminer.

• Create LearnDash quizzes as you would normally. Set up prerequisites, associate the quiz with courses and lessons, design your certificates and use all of the LearnDash features you already use.
• Connect a bizExaminer exam with a quiz. When the user starts the quiz, he is automatically redirected to the bizExaminer exam and after he has finished the exam he will get back to the default LearnDash results view.
• Certificates: Use LearnDash's built-in certificates for quizzes or use the bizExaminer certificates function which integrates perfectly into LearnDash and allows the user to view his certificate everywhere via LearnDash's shortcodes and blocks.
• Remote Proctoring: bizExaminer supports Examity, Constructor (Examus), ProctorExam, Proctorio and Meazure Learning (ProctorU) for monitoring remote exams.
• Results are directly stored in LearnDash and therefore available to show in LearnDash's shortcodes, blocks, the user's profile etc.
• LearnDash templates: Our plugin uses LearnDash's templates directly and is therefore compatible with most themes and other third-party extensions.

Do you use special LearnDash features, other third-party extensions or have any feature requests? Let us know! Tested LearnDash Extensions and Themes Our plugin uses LearnDash's templates directly and is therefore compatible with most themes and other third-party extensions, but we especially made sure our plugin works with these plugins and themes:

• BuddyBoss + BuddyPress
• GamiPress

Import Attempts from bizExaminer Our plugin provides the possibility to start and run exams in bizExaminer but still import their results into LearnDash. A quiz has to explicitly enable the setting "Import Attempts from bizExaminer". To allow users to import their results, the plugin includes two shortcodes:

1. be_import_attempts_table: A table for showing all quizzes of a course and allowing the user to import their results/attempts.
2. be_import_attempts_button: A button to allow the user to import their results/attempts for a single specific quiz. If you want to use this feature and want more information, have a look at our support article or reach out to our support team.
