WordPress learning management system plugin for online courses.

Tutor LMS is stabilizing its 4.0 redesign, with AI quiz authoring as the standout new capability.

Current state
Tutor LMS is deep in the release cycle for 4.0, a learner-first redesign (mobile-first navigation, light/dark mode, a Kids Mode, reworked student and instructor dashboards). The line has moved from alpha through four betas to a second release candidate, with the betas adding new quiz types and AI-assisted quiz generation and the RCs shifting almost entirely to bug fixes and theme-compatibility work.
Where it's heading
The progression from beta to RC.2, where new features taper off and fix counts dominate, signals 4.0 is closing in on a stable launch. The throughline of the cycle is twofold: a UX overhaul of the learning experience and a steady expansion of quiz tooling, now including AI question generation.
Prediction
Expect a 4.0.0 stable release in the near term once the RC fix list shortens, followed by point releases hardening the new dashboards and monetization integrations (WooCommerce, EDD, PMPro) that generated most of the bug reports.
