What kind of Quiz questions can I create?

Sensei supports many question types for your learners to answer. You can now grade your learners by having them answer Multiple Choice, True/False, Gap Fill, Multi Line, Single Line, and File Upload questions.

Can I customize the layout and styling of the plugin?

Yes, you can use Sensei’s templating system to achieve this. We created a guide in Sensei Theming to help you do this.

Will Sensei work with my theme even if it’s not a WooTheme?

Yes! Sensei has been developed to work with any WordPress installation. You might be required to add some code snippets for the layouts to appear correctly, if your theme is built in a way that conflicts with Sensei wrappers. This is explained at Sensei Theming.

For starters, we made it fully compatible with all default WordPress themes.

We also provide the code you need to ensure compatibility with some of the most popular WordPress themes.

Can I use Sensei on a multisite installation?

While Sensei has not been designed specifically for multisite use, it can be used in a multisite environment, where it is activated and managed separately on each subsite. Sensei data cannot be shared between subsites. To work on a multisite setup, you need to purchase a key for each site using the 5 or 25-site subscription options.

Can I use multiple videos, audio, and pictures in Courses and Lessons?

Yes, you can use the editor area, as well as the video embed field. Any content that you can upload to the WordPress editor may be used.

Can I grade my learners’ quizzes manually?

Sensei automatically grades your learners’ quizzes, if you have chosen this option for the lesson, but it can only automatically grade Multiple Choice and True/False question types. All other question types must be manually graded using the new grading area. You can manually grade all questions if you prefer.

Can I translate (localize) Sensei?

Yes. Sensei has a built-in language localization system.

As of version 1.9, Sensei translations are available as language packs that can be installed from your dashboard. For more information, see Localizing Sensei.

What type of video is supported?

WordPress includes a native video player for videos uploaded directly to your site via Add Media button. You can also use the oEmbed function to embed external videos.

We recommend Vimeo Plus if you want to protect your video content.

Does Sensei support SCORM and what about importing content?

Sensei does not support SCORM import/export for version 1x. We have supported the standard WordPress import/export functionality from version 1.

Does Sensei support certificates for passing courses?

Yes, Sensei has a free extension you can download to help with this at: Sensei Certificates
