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).
260 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

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.

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).

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.

Show grades on student dashboard - crucial feature
Right now I see it says complete or in progress on the my courses area of the plugin but I do feel it should show the results and grades to the student also on their user side dashboard – if the student dashboard could get a little more feature rich possibly. I do feel this is a fundamental feature to be honest. A student should have a record of all their grades on their account in Sensei - not just complete or in progress. I mentioned this at the last blog update here: http://www.woothemes.com/2013/05/sensei-1-3-0-questioned-and-graded/

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).

We 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

Course completed page
There should be a proper endpoint for a course. When you finish the last lesson you should be taken to a screen where it says congratulations you have now finished this course. And an option to download their certificate.

Control the tabs on the my course page and profile page
Right now the my-courses page and the profile page has tabs for active courses and completed courses and I would love a third tab to show the Achievements and/or points from BadgeOS. Infact in reality the BadgeOS tab of achievements would show first in my scenario so controlling the order of these tabs would be important. Adding a third tab here would allow me to show the stats to the user in a simple way and mostly the stats would be the achievements / points they have earned. Most of the work related applications for Sensei I have been involved…

Add ability for multiple authors / co-authors of a lesson or course
A lot of lessons or courses nowadays are co-written by multiple experts. It would be great to have the ability to list more than one author / co-authors on lessons and courses.

Thanks Leslie
Would you see this as a simple text list, so you could add any names, or would you be able to select users with the ‘teacher’ role only?

Users should be able to purchase individual lessons within courses in addition to the entire course.
Users should be able to purchase individual lessons within courses in addition to the entire course.
16 votesFor this kind of functionality, it’s easiest to set up a “free” course with a lesson or two, and to then set up a course that is paid, should the customer want to learn more. http://codeschool.com/ is a great reference for this.
We’ll look further into this.

Sensei Test Submission
We need a way to stop students from submitting their tests for grading until they have answered all of the questions in the lesson that they are taking.
Some of our students are pressing enter on their "keyboard" on their keyboard or the "complete lesson" button by accident before they have finished answering all of the questions.
This is a pretty big issue for us.

Creating paid courses on the fly within Sensei without needing to create a product manually in WooCommerce
Make selling the products easier by adding the selling info (price...) on the course page itself within Sensei, once this is done the course is up for sale (even if it meant creating a product behind the scene), this will ease the process and eliminates the duplicate work. Going through this duplication effort is not scalable especially in a marketplace setting.

Download list of e-mail addresses of learners taking a course
I would like to be able to download a list of e-mail addresses of learners taking a particular course!
For examle 30 learners take course A. I click on 'Learner Management'. I click on the 'manage learners' button at course A.
There I would like to see button 'Download CSV file' to quickly collect the e-mail address and first names of all students who bought course A.
If I could quickly import the learners e-mail addresses I could easy make a mail list in MailChimp to communicate with students taking that particular course A.

Add REST API endpoints for courses, lessons, modules etc.
With WordPress 4.7, I think this is almost mandatory, isn't it?

Add category filter to course listing page
On the course listing/archive page, please add the ability to filter the list based on category along with the "All" and "Featured" filters that already exist. So the options would be "All" "Featured" "Category 1" "Category 2" etc.
Otherwise, why would I bother to put courses into categories?

Auto Answer Feedback: Different feedback for wrong answer and correct answer
I really happy you added the Auto Answer Feedback, but I'm not using it since I need to types of feedback:
One if the answer is correct, and one is the answer the student gave is not correct.
Using this approach, I can really give the feedback the student needs and sent him or her back to a specific lesson..
I'm now using SlickQuiz, but love to transfer it all to Sensei
Thanks!12 votesThanks Laura. We considered this option, but decided to keep it simple to start with. If there’s high demand for two different feedback fields, we can certainly add it in future.

Must get question correct before progressing or similar
Rather than waiting until the end to find out how many questions were answered correctly, in situations where user must get all questions right, do not allow them to continue on until they have the correct answer. Would need a next button for each question or a way to auto mark as you go. Or when they are shown the questions they got right and wrong when they retry the ones they got right remain and they just need to redo the ones they got wrong.
