Looking for feedback

The current use of machine-generated transcripts for lessons often leads to unclear content. Since YouTube provides transcription, we plan to shift to high-quality, human-curated text directly tied to each lesson. This change is a priority based on feedback from the disability community regarding accessibility issues with translated transcripts. If video producers can’t create the text themselves, others may assist. Share suggestions or help test new formats in the Training Team Slack or GitHub discussions.

Looking for volunteers

We’re reviewing the following courses for errors, broken links, and outdated content. Help by reporting issues on GitHub:
- Here are the courses where we need volunteers:
- Even small contributions make a big difference in improving the learner experience on Learn.WordPress.org.
Looking for Ideas: Learn Pathways 2.0 – Localized Learning Experience
- We’re exploring how to make Learning Pathways more relevant across regions and languages, and we’d love your ideas!
As we prepare for the next phase of Learn.WordPress.org, we want to understand:
- How can we adapt learning paths to reflect local WordPress communities and examples?
- What types of content help you learn best in your native language — short videos, written guides, or quizzes?
- How can we ensure translated content feels natural and culturally appropriate?

Please share your thoughts in the Training Team Slack channel or on GitHub. Your insights will help shape the next generation of Learn.WordPress experiences and ensures that learning WordPress feels personal and accessible to everyone — wherever they are in the world.
