Students lose their best lesson insight the moment they close the tab.
A learner thinks of a question halfway through a lesson, then forgets it before the next login. LMS Notes docks a writing panel inside the course itself. Students write while the lesson is still open, find every note again in their profile, and print or download what they wrote when the exam comes around.
One scene, two bodies, two different sensors. Grade the wide first and treat it as the reference for every other angle in the sequence.

How it works
A note is only useful if the student can find it in week six.
Writing is the easy half. LMS Notes is built around the other half: getting the note back at the moment it matters.
01
Write it while the lesson is still open
The panel sits on whatever the student is reading: a course or a lesson on any supported LMS, and on LearnDash also topics, quizzes and assignments. Notes save from there, so nobody has to open a second tab and lose their place in the video. Add labels as you write and the field suggests ones already used.
02
Find it again in the profile
Every note a student has written collects in their profile area, sorted so the last thing they wrote is the first thing they see before a quiz. Search the text, page through twenty at a time, and edit or delete anything that has gone stale.
03
Take it into the exam week
Any single note prints as a PDF, saves as a DOC, or opens in a print-styled page that fires the browser print dialog. Tick several at once and they come down together as one Word file, so a whole module travels offline without logging back in.
Placements
The notes follow the student around your site.
Notes are written in the lesson, but they do not have to stay there. Turn on the placements that match how your site is built.
[lcn_notes]
LearnDash profile
On LearnDash, the notes area drops onto the student profile page and lists everything they have written, ready to review before a quiz.
BuddyPress profile tab
On a BuddyPress community, notes can show on the member profile tab next to their course activity.
LearnDash Dashboard
Running Dashboard for LearnDash? Notes appear on the LearnDash Dashboard page with no extra setup.
Any page you choose
Drop the shortcode on a study page, a members-only page, or a profile template, and it lists that student’s notes. Activation creates a My Notes page and an All Notes page for you, already wired to the right shortcode.
Instructors read the notes their own students wrote.
The All Notes view is scoped for you: an instructor only ever sees notes from their own courses, and a LearnDash group leader sees their group members. From there, pick one student or search the note text. A question a learner already typed out is a better place to start a reply than an empty inbox.

Still unsure when to use a node instead of a new layer.

The reference frame trick worked. Reshoot looks identical now.

What it runs on
One notes panel, five LMS plugins.
LMS Notes attaches to the course content your LMS already publishes. Keep one platform or migrate between them later: the notes panel behaves the same way on every one. At least one of these plugins has to be active for LMS Notes to run. You can also switch notes on for any other public post type on the site, so documentation pages and resource libraries get the same panel.
Same notes workspace on every plan. Pick your site count.
Personal, Professional, and Agency ship the identical feature set: notes inside the lesson, labels and search, the profile notes area, per-note PDF, DOC and print export with bulk Word download, the instructor read-view, and the [lcn_notes] shortcode. The licence only decides how many sites you can activate it on. Every tier is available annually or as a one-time lifetime licence. Read the refund policy.
LMS Notes needs LearnDash, LifterLMS, Sensei, Tutor LMS, or LearnPress installed and active.
Before you buy
Questions course owners ask before they install notes.
01
Which LMS platforms does LMS Notes support?
LearnDash, LifterLMS, Sensei, Tutor LMS, and LearnPress. At least one of those plugins needs to be installed and active for LMS Notes to work.
02
Where do students write a note?
Inside the course itself. The notes panel opens on the course or lesson the student is reading, and on LearnDash also on topics, quizzes and assignments. The note saves without leaving that page.
03
Can students take notes on pages that are not course content?
Yes. Alongside the LMS post types, you can switch notes on for any public post type on the site, and limit notes to specific modules within an LMS if you would rather narrow it.
04
How do I show notes on a custom page?
Add the [lcn_notes] shortcode to any page. It lists the current student’s notes on that page. Activation also creates a My Notes page and an All Notes page already wired up, so there is nothing to place by hand.
05
Can notes show on a BuddyPress or LearnDash profile?
Yes. Enable the setting in the plugin backend and the notes section appears on the member’s BuddyPress profile or on their LearnDash profile page.
06
Can instructors or admins read student notes?
Yes. An instructor sees notes from their own courses, and a LearnDash group leader sees their group members. From there they can pick one student or search the note text. Admins see everything.
07
Can students organise or find an old note?
Yes. Every note takes labels, and the label field suggests ones already in use. Students search their own notes by keyword and page through them twenty at a time.
08
Can students export or print their notes?
Yes. A single note downloads as a PDF or a DOC, or opens in a print-styled page that fires the browser print dialog. Selecting several notes at once downloads them together as one Word file.
09
The note icon collides with my theme. Can I move it?
Yes. Choose whether the icon sits on the left or the right, then set how far down the page it sits as a percentage, so it clears a chat bubble or a sticky footer. You can also upload your own icon and set its colour.
10
Can I control who is allowed to write notes?
Yes. Note creation is granted per WordPress role, so you can leave it to enrolled students or open it wider.
11
Is there a free trial?
There is no free trial, but every purchase carries a 30-day money-back guarantee.
12
What is the difference between the licence tiers?
All tiers include the same feature set. Personal covers one site, Professional covers five sites, and Agency is unlimited sites.
Give students somewhere to write it down before they forget it.
Install LMS Notes on your LearnDash, LifterLMS, Sensei, Tutor LMS, or LearnPress site. The panel appears in the lesson the moment you activate it, and the first note is saved before your next support email.
