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.

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 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.

Display Sensei - Course Progress Widget on Course Page
The Problem - The Course Progress Widget only displays on Module or Lesson pages.
What's Required - Display the Course Progress Widget on the Course Page
Why - When a learner returns to an In Progress course they have to scroll to the bottom of the course page to see which lesson they are up to. Being able to display the course progress widget in a side bar makes it very easy to see

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.

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.

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…

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.

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

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.

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…

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?

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

Integration with sensei and booking extension
Sensei is a powerful extension of woocommerce, but i have this need/idea:
The idea is integrate the booking extension to enable the lesson/course only on the date/time the user booking the service/course.
In my case, i need this integration because i have a button to an external source, wich is necessary to activate only in the time of booking.
:)

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.

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.
