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

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.

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.

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).
28 votesThis is something we are looking into for a future release.
-
Permanent certificate access.
We are using Groups/Sensei with expiry dates on courses. So currently if a person subscribes to a course they get access for a certain period of time to the content and then it expires. Access to the certificate expires with it.
Is there a way we can give people permanent access to their certificates that are created.
19 votesCurrently not, unless they download it.
This is something we will look into though.

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.

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.

Reorganize lessons BETWEEN modules in Order Lessons
Currently, you can only organize Lessons within a Module and not transfer them between Modules. It would be a huge improvement to allow the drag and drop of Lessons wherever you want them in this window. Also, Modules do not appear here unless there is already a Lesson assigned to them. All Modules should appear whether or not they have a Lesson assigned to enable easy drag and drop.
7 votesThanks Jesse
I actually thought you could already do this and was surprised to find that it’s not possible. I’ve added it as an issue for our developers to look into for a future update.

Import lesson comments to bbpress Form => Topic
Now that we have Buddypress integration (yay!), the final step is to kick-start those empty forums with the discussion already posted by students to existing Sensei lessons.
I've tried a plugin called "bbPress Post Topics" which works beautifully for blog posts. It creates a new "topic" for any post in a forum of your choice, then converts all post comments to "replies" in that forum topic.
It even allows for the appropriate topic to replace the default WP comments system at the end of each post.
The trouble is, it doesn't appear to work with Sensei lessons, I'm guessing because…
3 votesThanks David, I’ve passed this on to the developer :)
