Sensei Modules Overview
Sensei Modules adds an additional level of organization to your Sensei content between Courses and Lessons. A Course can contain any number of Modules, and each Lesson can be assigned to a single Module within that Course.
Adding Modules
To add a Module:
- Go to Courses > Modules.
- Under Add New Module, give the Module a Name.
- Under Course(s), search for and select one or more Courses that will use this Module.
If you prefer, you can leave the Course(s) field blank and assign modules to courses later from the course edit screen.
Adding Modules from within a Course
Alternatively, you can add Modules from within a Course Edit page when creating/editing a Course.
- Go to Courses > All Courses.
- Click Add New, or edit an existing Course. You will see a Modules panel in the sidebar.
- Select any existing Modules you want to add to this Course.
- And/or click Add New Module, enter a Module name, and click the Add New Modulebutton.
Assigning Lessons to Modules
Once you have added some Modules to a Course, you can then assign each of the Course’s Lessons to any of the Modules used in that Course.
To assign a Lesson to a Module:
- Go to Lessons > All Lessons, and edit the Lesson in question. You will see a newLesson Module panel in the sidebar, listing all the Modules available in this Course.
- Select the Module you want to assign this Lesson to.
- Update the Lesson.
Ordering Modules
By default, any modules you add to a course will be displayed in alphabetical order. To reorder your Modules, go to Courses > Order Modules, select the course you want to edit, and simply drag and drop the modules into your desired order and click save.
Module Display
If a Course contains Modules, they will be displayed on the Single Course page, under the Modules heading, with each Module displaying a link to the Single Module page, and a list of links to the Lessons within that Module.
After a user has completed one or more of the lessons in a module, they will see an ‘In progress’ indicator for that module on the Module page, and the Course page.
After a user has completed all the lessons in a module, they will see a ‘Completed’ indicator for that module on the Module page and the Course page.
Any Lessons not assigned to Modules will be displayed below, under the Other Lessonsheading.
