Manage Students By Course
Important note: all students need a WordPress account to access your courses. You can manually create a WordPress account for a new student by following these instructions.
To manage your students, go to Sensei LMS > Courses to see a list of courses, and you should see a Manage button under Students column.
Once you’ve clicked the Manage button for a particular course, a list of all students who were ever enrolled in the course are displayed, by default. This view can be filtered to only show those learners who are currently enrolled (Enrolled Students), or only those who are unenrolled (Unenrolled Students). On this page you can remove student from a course, add student to a course, reset progress, remove progress, and edit the course start date.
Remove a Student from a Course
From Sensei LMS > Courses > Manage page, hover over the student’s name and click Remove Enrollment link.
Another way to remove a student’s enrollment in a course is to find the appropriate student in Sensei > LMS and click the three dots in the student’s row. Click the Remove from Course link that appears.
This will unenroll the student and revoke their access to the course. Please note that while the student no longer has access to the course, their progress is preserved. This means that they will be able to pick up where they left off should they enroll in the course again later.
Add a Student to a Course
From Sensei LMS > Courses > Manage page, scroll to the bottom of the page and you can add the student manually by entering the name or email address of the student under “Add Student to Course” section, then, clicking the add button. You can optionally choose to complete the course for the student by checking the Complete course for selected student(s) box. Multiple students can be added simultaneously:
Another way to add a student to a course is by going to Sensei LMS > Students. Click the three dots in the student’s row and then click the Add to Course link that appears.
Reset Progress
To reset a student’s progress and have them start the course over from the beginning, from Sensei LMS > Courses > Manage page, hover over the student’s name and click Reset Progress link.
Note that the Reset Progress link is only displayed if the student is currently enrolled in the course.
Another way is to go to Sensei LMS > Students and click the three dots in the particular student’s row. Then, click the Reset Progress link that appears.
This will reset the course start date and set its status to Not Started. All lessons in the course will have their start date cleared and status set to Not started.
Remove Progress
To remove a student’s progress, go to Sensei LMS > Courses > Manage page, hover over the student’s name, and click the Remove Progress link.
This will remove the student from the list of students enrolled in the course, effectively deleting any progress they have already made in the course. This means the student will need to start the course over from the beginning should they enroll again later.
Note that the Remove Progress link is only displayed if the student is not currently enrolled in the course.
Edit the Course Start Date
Go to Sensei LMS > Courses > Manage page, and you can edit the course start date for the particular student by clicking in the text box that displays the current start date, selecting a new date from the calendar that appears, and clicking the Update Student button.
Note that updating the course start date does not have any effect on the start dates of the course’s lessons.
Manage Students by Lesson
Go to Sensei LMS > Courses > Manage page and click the Lessons tab/link. This displays a list of all lessons in the course:
As with courses, the students for an individual lesson can be managed by clicking the Manage students button. By default, a list of all students who ever viewed the lesson are displayed:
Add a Student to a Lesson
A student can be added to the lesson by scrolling to the bottom of the page, searching for and selecting them in the “Add Student to Lesson” section, and clicking the add button. This will also enroll the student in the course if they are not already taking it. You can optionally choose to complete the lesson for the learner by checking the Complete lesson for selected student(s) box. If the lesson has a quiz, the learner will automatically pass it. Multiple learners can be added simultaneously:
Reset Progress
To reset a student’s progress and have them start the lesson over from the beginning, hover over the student’s name, and click the Reset Progress link. This will reset the lesson status to In Progress. If the lesson has a quiz, this will also reset the learner’s grade for that quiz and remove their answers.
Edit the Lesson Start Date
You can edit the lesson start date by locating the student, clicking in the text box that displays the current start date, selecting a new date from the calendar that appears, and clicking the Update Student button.
