Courses and Lessons
The main content hierarchy in Sensei is Courses > Lessons
A course is a collection of lessons.
Each course can contain any number of lessons.
Each lesson can only belong to a single course.
Users register for a course to access that course’s lessons.
Courses can also be organized into Course Categories. A course can belong to any number of categories.
See how to add courses and how to add lessons for more information. You can also check how to add a lesson to a course.
Note: Interactive Blocks can be added to any WordPress page or post, including a Lesson (i.e., a custom WordPress post type). Interactive Blocks cannot be added to Quizzes, however.
Modules
Note: If you previously used our free Sensei Modules extension, this is no longer required as of Sensei 1.8. It should be removed via Plugins > Installed Plugins.
Sensei now includes Modules by default, adding another level of organization between Courses and Lessons.
This enables you to group lessons into Modules, creating a Courses > Modules > Lessons hierarchy.
A module is used only to organize lessons within a course, similar to a category. It doesn’t contain any content other than an optional description.
A module can be used in any number of courses. Within a course, each lesson can only belong to a single module.
See how to create Modules and how to manage them.
Quizzes
Each lesson can optionally contain a single Quiz to test your students’ learning.
Each lesson can only have one quiz, and a quiz can only belong to a single lesson.
There is also the Quiz interactive block which is a great tool to use to add quizzes to any WordPress post, page, lesson, and even in courses built with other WordPress LMS plugins.
See our Quiz document for more information on how to add Quizzes and how to manage them.
Questions
Quizzes are made up of a list of questions. A quiz can contain any number of questions, and each question can be used in any number of quizzes.
In fact, when a new question is added to a quiz, that question is also added to the question bank so that it can be used again in other quizzes.
