Show wrong answers
Once the test is taken it's nice to see the percent correct, but there's no feedback for which questions are wrong. Unless, I'm not seeing this in the examples, it would be very frustrating if a 100% is required to pass (i.e. a homework assignment).
252 votesThe Sensei team has been discussing how we can improve the quiz experience for students. We’ve come up with a first draft that enables showing the correct answers, as well as providing feedback for both correct and incorrect answers.
It’s important to note that this is very rough and is not representative of what the final solution will look like. This is just a starting point to get the discussion going and begin to co-create a solution with everyone who has an interest in this functionality.
To that end, here’s a link to the mock-up. You can leave feedback by clicking the “Leave Feedback” button – https://app.evrybo.com/share/project/12489/135181/oRxY05LKo1HAqAiKG1HT

Course Expiration
Upon launch, the user will be notified that they have a certain time-frame to complete the course.They can close the course and come back to it, but access to it will expire within that certain time (a few days or weeks).
152 votesWe’re planning to build this into the next version of our new Content Drip extension – http://www.woothemes.com/products/sensei-content-drip/
One alternative way to do this would be using Groups as described in this post – http://www.woothemes.com/2014/02/creating-a-tiered-membership-site-with-sensei-and-groups/
When you create a product that grants access to a Group, it allows you to set a duration, after which the user will be removed from that group.

Allow course to have more than one Teacher
Like title, give the capabilities to create a course with two o more teachers.
In this way, two teachers can work at the same common project.
Example:
How to make a Course by X and Y
Lesson 1 by X
Lesson 2 by Y
Lesson 3 by Y
Lesson 4 by X

Frontend Teacher Interface similar UDEMY
I would like to be able to see the Sensei with the function of Frontend Teacher Interface, so we can build something similar to Udemy or Lynda.
And Sensei Statistics visible in the frontend with shotcodes and more...

Team Courses
Team managers should be able to register their team to complete a course individually.
For example, when integrated with WooCommerce, a manager could purchase 5 licences for a single course for his 5 employees to complete individually.
The managers should then be able to download a report with which members have completed the course and their results.

Bulk Upload CSV to Populate or Edit Courses, Lessons or Quizzes
I have tons of courses, lessons and quizzes I want to add and the wordpress dashboard is not very friendly to inputting large amounts of data at once because of its segmented back end. This would really help user workflow and setup for a website looking to migrate to your system.

If a quiz is NOT passed, take the student back to the lesson to try again. Currently students have to hit reset, which isn't clear.
When a student doesn't pass a auto graded quiz. The message is displayed at the top telling them they didn't pass. They can look at their questions and see how they did. But it isn't clear to reset to try again.
Maybe have a setting to force the student back to the lesson, and not show them what they got wrong.
Then when they take the quiz again, they will get a new set of random questions from the pool.

Better Analytics and Structure and Information
I have multiple classes, Period 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. I really need to be able to see the analytics for just a specific class at times. I also need to be able to see how long a student is actually spending reading a course and taking a quiz so I know if the student is actually trying and not just going straight to the test. It will help to give me a better understanding of what might be going wrong. I also think some charts or something would be nice.

Student Note-Taking
I would like to have an option for students to take notes while they watch the lesson video. They would then be able to submit those notes as part of their coursework. Since I do regular notebook checks anyway I think this could streamline things some. Ideally, these notes would auto-backup to the database so they'd be restored if a user's browser crashed and they needed to return to the lesson. I've seen these note-taking features before on other websites, but I'm not sure how to add them to my site. You can print, email, or save the notes to…

Limit the number of times a quiz can be taken
We need to limit the number of times a student can take a quiz. For example, if they fail the quiz 3 times, they should not be able to take it again. (can make it so that the admin can override this - and reopen... but by default there should be a maximum number of attempts that can be set).

Export Lessons and Quizzes Easily
So right now you have to export everything from your site, the lessons, quizzes, courses, and questions all for one lesson or quiz, etc. Now some of us work with other teachers and collaborate and it makes it difficult for the receiver to have to delete all the unwanted lessons and such. Can you make a quick export for lessons and courses that make it easier to send and use.

Matching: New Type of Question for Quizzes
It'd be great to be able to create matching exercises (two columns, same number of items, one to one relationship) using Sensei.
35 votesDefinitely something we’d like to add. No timeline at this stage.

Add Learning Paths
A building block approach to learning that helps your students reach their goals. Let's say you have 5 courses all on the same topic but geared towards different levels of learners. 2 of them are for beginners, 2 for intermediate and 1 for experts. If someone completes all 5 courses they have completed that path. Maybe tie it to badges but absolutely necessary for anyone offering any type of certifications, etc....
30 votesI like the idea, but how does it differ from course categories. Would appreciate some feedback on that :)

The option to have the quiz load on the same page as the content
Currently the quiz loads on it's own page, but I think it would be handy to at least have the option for the quiz to be loaded on the content page. Especially if students require another review of the content to answer the question. (saves them having to navigate backwards).

Register with course key
To be able to use Sensei at our school students need to be able to register on courses with a course key given by their teacher.

Sensei mass edit/create: quiz percentage, questions, lessons...
Hi, my first course in Sensei got 54 lessons, and to go individually setting the quiz percentage is almost maddening.
Please make settings for mass edit:
- Quiz percentage global site or course
- Mass create lessons (excel table import or something)
- Mass create quizzes (excel table import or something)
- Any other mass operations25 votes -
Subscribe for all paid courses at once
Make it possible for users not only to buy seperate courses, but also give the opportunaty to buy unlimited access (for a specified amount of time).
22 votesWe have published a blog post which demonstrated how you can achieve this using the Groups plugin – http://www.woothemes.com/2014/02/creating-a-tiered-membership-site-with-sensei-and-groups
