  1. 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

      • Table of Contents, References

        It would be great to add the table of contents generator and references functionality that is in WikiEasi

        http://www.woothemes.com/products/wikeasi/

        Alot of educational content is broken down into bite-size chunks. I would not want to create post types for each lesson component (as they will be clickign more than ;earning) but the table of contents generator would be great. I also add alot of references to my content incase the reader wants to learn more. It would be great to have a simple mechanism to add references.

        • Show one question at a time in quiz

          Currently all the quiz questions are displayed in one page. It will be preferable to show them one at a time using back/next button.

          • 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.

            • 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.

              • Duration of the lesson in minutes and seconds

                Not all video lesson are exact minutes in duration so being able to set the duration of the lesson in minutes and second would be nice. For exampel if I have a video lesson for 4 minutes and 45 seconds I only have the choice to make 4 or 5 minutes at the present time.

                • Custom Content

                  It would be great if you customize the content that it shown when lessons/courses are complated.

                  e.g. if you complete lesson x you get a message congratulating that is relevent to the contents of lesson x

                  eg. if you complete course x, you get a message congratulating you (that is relevant to course x)

                  If for one would like to be able to add relevant calls to action, ads or affiliate links at the end of each lesson/course.

                  • Display how many students are taking the course just like udemy.com.

                    This increases interest to take the course.

                    • Ability to Assign Lessons to more than one Course

                      I'd like to be able to compile lessons from multiple courses to create a new course.

                      • Modular Function of all Aspects

                        It seems to me that all of the request follow a similar theme...we want to do the work once and have the ability to reuse it. So I suggest that all the functions: courses, lessons, students, teachers, quizzes, questions and answers be set into arrays that can be compiled interdependently...that will give the functionality and flexibility we all need both as end users and developers.

                        If you agree with me...VOTE!!!

                        • Allow students to enter YouTube links as part of their submitted work, allowing teachers to review and score based on the video.

                          The idea is best suited to sports applications, where students are learning a particular action (like a golf swing, pool dive or whatever) can upload a video of their progress for teachers to review, score and provide feedback.

                          • Add trainees manually to courses

                            From a school perspective, It's not viable if a user has to register every time they want to take a specific course, the teacher must be able to suscribe a group or a individual user

                                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!

                                • 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.

                                    • Option to remove course registration.

                                      On my site, I offer a lot of free maths resources. It's not viable for to offer courses via Sensei if a visitor has to register every time they want to take a specific lesson.
                                      Please include an option to allow courses to be freely accessed without logging in.

                                      • GotoWebinar Integration

                                        I would like the ability to create registrants at GotoWebinar via their API when someone purchases a course via Sensei/WooCommerce. Once the registrant has been created, the student would have a link to the webinar on the course page. The GotoWebinar API does not allow for the creation of webinars, so when creating the course in Sensei, Sensei would ping the API, grab a list of webinars, and allow the Sensei operator to select which webinar correlates with the new Sensei course.

                                        All of our courses are provided via GotoWebinar, so the tie-in would be great.

                                        • Let users mark a course as complete without taking a quiz

                                          For some courses a quiz is not appropriate. It would be great to allow a lesson-specific 'mark as complete' button, similar to that available for entire courses.
