Inside the product
Product walkthrough
The recording shows course structure, a saved answer, feedback settings and the shop.
An actual LMS Blueprint interface recording. A founder introduction can be added when it is ready.
The problem
Ordinary course software forgets.
It was built to host videos and take payments. Teaching happens somewhere else.
- 01It forgets the student.Each lesson meets them as a stranger, as if the last one never happened.
- 02It only knows they clicked.Progress means they reached the end of the page, not that they did the work.
- 03Feedback is a score.A number comes back, not a response to what they actually wrote.
- 04You rent your own school.The platform holds your students and takes a cut of every sale.
- 05It is a chain of plugins.Course, shop and email from different makers, each updating and breaking on its own.

Method
Made by Academic Method
LMS Blueprint is made by Academic Method, founded by Kevin Fenemore to build the platform he wanted for his own teaching.
Why we built it →What LMS Blueprint includes
Explore the six parts of the platform, from building the course to running a school on your own WordPress.
Build your course
Build courses in your own WordPress with LMS Blueprint. This part of the platform is for educators and course creators arranging lessons, workbooks and quizzes into a course students can follow. Start from your own material or a supported import, review the structure, and choose how and when lessons become available.
Explore build your course →What your students get
LMS Blueprint gives students a place to read lessons, attempt the work and return to what they have written. This page is for course owners planning that learning experience. It explains the reader, saved answers, study tools and the optional AI feedback, Folio and tutor that connect a student’s work with your teaching.
Explore what your students get →Sell from your own shop
The LMS Blueprint shop is for course owners who want to sell courses and digital products from their own WordPress site. Connect your own Stripe account, prepare your product pages and manage access alongside the course. Payment processing and any other services you choose are separate from the platform software.
Explore sell from your own shop →Run your school
LMS Blueprint brings course administration into your own WordPress. This page is for educators and school owners managing enrolments, progress, grades and course communication. See what students have attempted, organise course emails and review the operational settings around your school, while keeping responsibility for your hosting and connected services.
Explore run your school →AI, on your key
The optional LMS Blueprint AI add-on supports feedback, Folio, course tutoring and course creation. It is for course owners who want these features grounded in their own teaching material and students’ work. It requires Core and your own provider key; the add-on subscription and your provider’s usage charges are separate.
Explore ai, on your key →Own it
LMS Blueprint runs in your own WordPress, on hosting you choose. This page is for course owners comparing control of their platform, student records and connected services. It explains what you keep, what still depends on an external account, and how updates, exports and support fit around software you own.
