Integrate SCORM-and-AICC-compliant lessons
Integrate SCORM-and-AICC-compliant lessons developed with such tools as Macromedia Captivate or Litmos. (Lessons are HTML5 or Flash - just need to pass the grade back to the LMS).
5 votesWe are looking for more information about the specific requirements of Sensei users when it comes to Tin Can and SCORM.
If you could complete the following short survey, that would be a big help, thanks!

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.
17 votesThanks 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?

Sensei - Sent private message to learner
To sent a private message to a learner, you create a new message and insert the learners username (person who will receive the message) in the 'Message sent by:' box in Message Information.
Then you insert the teachers username (person who writes the message) in the 'Message received by:' box. The explanation in the interface seems to be the other way around. I attached a screenshot on how we filled the fields.Private message teacher box autofilled when teacher is logged in with his/her account:
Can't teachers box be autofilled or set to the logged in user by default? Now…

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.

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.

Class Questions and Answers
I love the idea to have a place for students to ask instructors questions. What I would like to see is a "Q/A" section for each module or lesson (depending on how you want to do your Q/A).
This QA section would allow students to post questions and vote up questions if they have similar questions. The students should be able to post test, images (upload), videos (vimeo, youtube), .pdf, .doc, .pages, or whatever you want to allow them to upload.
There should be an option to allow students to answer other student questions or only allow instructors to answer…

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.

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.

If a lesson is renamed and the slug is updated to reflect that change the quiz associated with that lesson still uses the old slug.
If a lesson is renamed and the slug is updated to reflect that change the quiz associated with that lesson still uses the old slug. The quiz needs to automatically have its slug updated or a option to manually update the slug for the quiz

add ability to branch lesson flow or path
Right now all lessons are available or a linear path can be structured. Difficult to branch lesson path other than with prereq.
How about lesson path dependent on pre test results, or student interest, or based on lesson interaction (story based lesson with branching paths depending on response to situation), or the basic loop to lesson with quiz answers worked out if not done correctly.
This would add a level of interactivity and the course would appear to change to meet the student's needs, rather than a linear presentation of material and practice questions.

Better Gradebook
So I would like a better grade book so that way I can get rid of my current grading system. I need to be able to easily type in grades where there would be classes, each class has students, and then there would be sort of like an excel sheet enter in the grades that aren't done in sensei. I still have normal graded assignments that I need to put in. I don't want to create lessons either to just type in a grade. Attendance would be pretty nice too, but lets take this one step at a time I…

Open/Close Dates and Time Duration
Considering Classroom Educators: Allow teacher to set a date on which the test/quiz will be available and a deadline to complete the test. Also, allow teacher to set a length of time to complete. This would be more suited for educators who meet up with their students so their lessons are live. Having the testing and scoring completed online would be terrific.
