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.

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…

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....

I like the idea, but how does it differ from course categories. Would appreciate some feedback on that :)

I'd like to see the ability to add a SCORM-compliant module, PDF viewer
Adding video is great, I'd like to be able to add a 'SCORM-compliant' (actually TINCAN would be better) module to a page that would allow you to run complex HTML-based or Flash-based learning scenarios from Wordpress rather than a CMS such as Moodle.
Other options would be a mp3 audio file (may be possible now, haven't tried yet).
Allow the upload of a PDF, with a nice 'flipbook' viewer and scroll-viewer option

We 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 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.

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…

Is a Likert scale on the cards for Quiz question types? Would be another great auto-grading option to include!
A Likert scale is great for courses that have no right/wrong answer

Course "Pass" Expiration
Really need a simple function that on a user completing a course it not only adds the date of completion but importantly allows an expiry date to be added eg. 1 year. This will mean that just before the year is up an email is sent informing the user that they are going to need to resit their test. This will ensure the user is always up to date with the course if it changes in that time or they have forgotten some of it.

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…

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).

Learners record number of hours spent learning
Hi
I'm looking for an e-learning platform, where the learner can record the number of hours they spend watching videos/reading etc - is this possible with Sensei. My learners need to record the number of hours spent per year on Continuing Professional Development for their professional body registration.4 votes -
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…
