Content drip or sequential delivery of course material over time
Content Dripping is the delivery of content, courses, new material over time – in a pre-scheduled manner.
Being able to setup up a course that drips out to new customers 'X' days (hours, minutes) after they sign up or to slowly release content so customers don't download everything and then ask for a refund.
This could be a sensei extension

Integrate with Buddypress
By integrating with Buddypress, courses could have their own group for those on the course, and that could include a forum and discussion, as well as everything else linked with a group.
It would also be good to have a tab in the user's front-end admin which would list their courses and any information pertaining to those courses.
There are many things that could be done by integrating with Buddypress...

Add Course to Multiple Products in WooCommerce
It would be nice if I could take a course and add it to multiple products in WooCommerce. Currently I would like to offer a course as part of a subscription and as a standalone product.
Please makes this possible!

More Question Types
Hi, think there should be more Question Types Example:
Drag and drop into text
(A drag and drop question type where missing words have to be dragged into gaps in a paragraph of text.)Drag and drop onto image
Gapfill Question
Matrix question
etc...
see on moodle.org plugins directory - question types!
thanks a lot228 votesSensei 1.3.0 includes a multitude of new question types.

Gamification Plugin
The use of Levels, Badges and community "props" would be great. Would like to have the ability to create custom "actions" that qualify for badges and levels. Could even be used with Sensei where they only pass a class once they reach the metrics/actions of that particular course.
228 votesAchievement badges can now be awarded using the BadgeOS Sensei extension – http://www.woothemes.com/products/sensei-badgeos/
Read more about it in the blog announcement at http://www.woothemes.com/2013/09/empowered-and-educated-with-sensei/

Allow user to sell their courses on a Site running SENSEI - like UDEMY
I build a lot of complicated portals and ecommerce websites. So it comes that somebody asked me to build a site like udemy where user can upload their own courses and sell them to earn some money. I am pretty sure it should be possible to implement that into SENSEI with EASE and let it work with WooCommerce :-)
181 votesThis is now possible using the enhanced Teacher role in Sensei 1.8, in combination with WooCommerce and the Product Vendors extension.
-
Add more course levels
As far as I can tell, Sensei is a 2-level system: Course and Lesson.
Our courses are usually 3 levels: Course, Module, and Unit/Lesson.
If this is not currently available (as it seems from the demos), then I suggest adding at least a 3rd level for better course organization.
160 votesThis functionality is now available with our Sensei Modules extension – http://www.woothemes.com/products/sensei-modules/

Sensei should have a teacher level account (so that we can administer classes to schools)
I would like to use Sensei on my site to supplement school classes it would be very beneficial if we could have a teacher account that could view the results of students (members) that are affiliated with the teacher (who is not the site owner/creator).
145 votesThe teacher role is now available in Sensei v1.6, and any user with that role will be able to access the Sensei grading, analysis and (new) learner management menus. – http://www.woothemes.com/2014/06/take-learning-next-level-sensei-1-6/

Course Categories
Right now there is no way to categorize Courses. This will create a lot of confusion once there are courses in multiple subjects.
It will be great if we can have categories, Sub Categories structure with Courses just like that of default Wordpress.

Bulk upload learners to course
Currently, Sensei allows us to add learners to a course one at a time using the learner management tab for a specific course. The ability to bulk upload users to a course would be great.
117 votesThis was implemented in the 1.9.12 release.

Add functionality so Students can privately interact with teachers
Jigsaw box is a coaching system for training people. Sensei seems to only be lacking the ability it has for students to submit homework on the same page as the course work, that is unseen by everyone but the instructor.
I don't know if a private forum would function as well. I think if we could keep everything on the same page it would be better for each user.

Allow the teacher to check student progress and grades
Allow the teachers to check the progress of certain students so they can encourage them to complete courses that may have been abandoned, or failed.

Add "Next Lesson" button once lesson is complete
Hi,
This is a really daft one, but I was amazed this was not in Sensi.
Once you complete a lesson, what is the next step? The next step is the next lesson and there is no next lesson button!!!
class-woothemes-sensi-frontend.php
Around line 1175 after
} elseif( $show_actions ) {sensei_reset_lesson_button();Add
// Added for next lesson button at top and bottom of single course page$nav_id_array = sensei_get_prev_next_lessons( $post_id );
$next_lesson_id = absint( $nav_id_array['next_lesson'] );if ( 0 < $nextlessonid ) {
// getpermalink( $nextlesson_id ) to make the next link
}
That's how I…

add images to both questions and answers
Think about making this awailable to your 4 year old :-) with only text as an option it's hopeless.
This idea http://ideas.woothemes.com/forums/191508-sensei/suggestions/3583747-i-d-like-to-see-a-way-to-include-an-image-in-the-q only focus on question images, but I would want to see images in both question and answers.
