It has been a busy few months at Continuum Learn. We've shipped some of the most requested features from our members — a proper WordPress integration, enterprise-grade single sign-on, AI that can turn an entire PDF into a course — alongside dozens of smaller improvements across the platform.
Everything below is included on every plan, as always. Here's the tour.
Key Takeaways

- Enterprise Single Sign-On and Two-Factor Authentication
- AI Course Generation, Now Straight from Your PDFs

Connect Your WordPress Site with Continuum Connect
Many of our customers already run their organisation's website on WordPress — and until now, the learning platform lived alongside it rather than inside it. Continuum Connect changes that.
Our official WordPress plugin links your existing site to your Continuum Learn platform in minutes with a guided setup wizard. Once connected, you can:
- Embed courses, upcoming events and each member's "my learning" area anywhere on your site using simple shortcodes
- Let visitors buy a course or event ticket from WordPress — checkout opens straight in Continuum Learn with nothing to rebuild
- Sign members in seamlessly, so someone logged in to your WordPress site is automatically signed in to their learning
The result: your website stays exactly where it is, and the learning platform becomes part of it.
Enterprise Single Sign-On and Two-Factor Authentication
Larger organisations told us the same thing again and again: our IT team needs learners to sign in with the accounts they already have. Now they can.
Single sign-on (SSO) — Connect Continuum Learn to your identity provider — Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Google Workspace, or any OpenID Connect provider. Accounts are created automatically the first time someone signs in, and you can require SSO for all members so there's a single, centrally managed way into the platform.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) — Any user can add authenticator-app 2FA to their account, complete with recovery codes. Admins can go further and require 2FA for their team's administrators.
Elsewhere, this is the stuff of "contact sales" enterprise tiers. With Continuum Learn it's included on every plan.
AI Course Generation, Now Straight from Your PDFs
Our AI course builder has taken a big step forward. You can now hand it an entire PDF — a training manual, a policy document, a research report — and it will build a complete, structured course from it.
- Figures and diagrams come along too. Charts, illustrations and diagrams are extracted from your document as crisp vector graphics and placed into the right lessons — no blurry screenshots.
- Start with a suggested title and structure. Upload a file and the platform proposes a course title and outline before generation begins.
- You control the assessments. Choose a knowledge check at the end of every lesson, one quiz per module, or no quizzes at all — the AI grounds every question in your source material.
As always, everything the AI produces lands in the visual course builder, where you can edit, rearrange and polish before publishing.
Learning Paths: Prerequisites, Drip Release and Gated Progression
Great training is a journey, not a pile of content. A new set of progression controls lets you design that journey:
- Sequential progression — require learners to finish a lesson before the next one unlocks
- Quiz gates — require a passing score before a learner can advance
- Course prerequisites — make one course a requirement for another, with clear "Requires" labels in your catalogue
- Drip release — unlock modules and lessons on a schedule, either a set number of days after enrolment or on fixed dates
Alongside this, quizzes are now fully graded and persistent: every attempt is saved, learners get a "My Results" page, and admins get quiz reporting across their courses.
See How Your Live Events Perform
If you run live events and webinars, you can now see exactly how they perform. Every event has a new Analytics tab, and a team-wide Watch Reporting page brings your whole programme together:
- Unique viewers and peak live concurrency for every broadcast
- Watch-time retention, so you can see where audiences drop off
- Revenue per event, split between direct sales and bundle share
- CSV export for stakeholder and funder reporting
A Learner Dashboard Worth Coming Back To
Learners now land on a genuinely useful dashboard: pick up exactly where they left off, see their in-progress and completed courses, check upcoming events, and watch their activity streak grow on a 12-week heatmap. Small thing, big difference to engagement.
Open-Access Publications and a More Visible Public Presence
Publishers and membership bodies can now mark publications as fully open access — anyone can read them, no account required. Combined with our new server-rendered public pages and per-team sitemaps, your public content is now properly visible to search engines, bringing new readers (and new members) to your door.
New teams also get a much smoother start: a guided setup asks whether you're building a courses academy or a video and events hub, seeds an example course to explore, and tracks your progress through a getting-started checklist.
Conclusion
Every feature above is live today and included on every plan — no upgrade tiers, no add-on modules. If you'd like a guided tour of any of it, book a demo and we'll walk you through it, or sign in and explore.
And if there's something you'd love to see next, tell us. Most of what you've just read started life as a customer request.
