Biggest opportunity: Swap “course builder” and “elearning” for “course catalog” and “scorm”. “course builder” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “course catalog” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “elearning” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “scorm” sits at #19 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →0.1%
of downloads still active
At least 10 of 15.6K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Education plugin keeps 1.0%, across 176 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Education plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 11 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
