There is a new feature introduced that you will receive notifications for each and everything like this
As you know, now everything is managed From this Area(Member's Area). Admin Tab which used to appear on Single Course Page is no longer functional because adding students in a course is managed from here.
From Instructor Control's Section, Click On Manage Courses - Click On Admin Tab and add the students in the course from here, you can either search a user by his username or with the email id.
There are sorting options available here, so you can actually sort students on the basis of their course status, on the basis of their access status.
In case, Instructor wants to reset the progress of the course for a specific student. He can do that from here. If a student completed a course, suppose 30% but now instructor wants him to start the course again. He can reset his course progress from here
This will show the stats which is related to the student. statistics basically show which unit completed by the user, and how much time was taken by that student to complete that unit.
Clicking on this Tab, instructors can check the student's activity and they can filter the activities as well(which they want to check basically).
Instructors can add Announcements here which they want to circulate among course students. This will be visible to all those students who are enrolled in that course
This image below is the view of how it looks from Student View
The course reviews can be checked under "Review" Tab. After Course Completion User can leave a course rating and that will be visible here
While going through the units, users(students) enrolled in that course can ask questions if they have any doubt and then continue with their course. At the end of the day, when instructor will check this tab, he will found the Questions raised by students while checking the course. From here, instructors can answer student's doubts
Make sure in the course, assign certificate/badge should be enabled and certificate template or certificate badge image should be set. Only then this functionality will work. Students can check the earned certificates or badges in "Achievements" Menu.
In case, the course access duration is set as 10 days. So, after 10 days users will not able to access the course material and it will show Expired. That means the course subscription for that student is expired. So what instructors can do is assign more number of days to increase the subscription limit from here.
For Unlimited Course Subscription, set 9999 days as course duration and then it will be available for unlimited duration
Changing Course Status option is also available for a particular user or you can do this for all users enrolled in that course.
Suppose, A student sent you a message that he forgot to click on "Finished Course" and logged out from the system. Here, An instructor has the capability to change the status of the course for that student
For this feature, make sure the Buddypress "Private Messaging" Component Should be enabled from wp-admin - Settings - Buddypress - Components.
