Intersperse lessons with Introduction and Conclusion pages

    I’d like to intersperse lessons with pages that include different kinds of content. For example, when a user completes a series of lessons (that are contained in a module), I’d like for them to go to a page that provides an overview of the lessons they’ve completed. And then I’d like to go from that page to a new page that provides an introduction to the next module.

    I could do this as a sequential lesson, but it’s not really a lesson. It also means that lesson progress includes this content, and I don’t want it to do that.

    Is there a way to do this easily?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Hi @michealrowe1,

    Hm, interesting question!

    Does this sound like what you’re after?

    https://github.com/Automattic/sensei/issues/4551

    Basically, there’s no way to do with within Sensei itself.

    Unfortunately, I can’t think of a good way to work around this, after fiddling around with it a bit. My idea was roughly: create a page which contains the Course Review block, the overview text you’d like to present, and a link back to the course.

    Issues: the Course Review block has to be associated with a course in order to work (ie, created via Sensei>Courses). And you can’t choose to only display the results for say, lessons 1-4, or module 1.

    Would need a redirect from end of module/lesson to this new page.

    Would require multiple custom pages for each ‘intermission’ type page.

    It’s a tough problem!

    Or, did you have something else in mind? The problem itself is likely something that will require custom code, so outside our scope of support, but if we can help further, just let us know!

    Best,

    Hi Cena

    Thanks for your thoughtful response, and the link to the other issue. The request to have the Module page inserted when starting a new module is similar to what I was looking for. My use case is slightly different though.

    I also want a summary of the module that shows up after the last lesson in the module. Since the introduction to the module, and the summary of the module would be different, I can’t use the same page.

    I think that what I’ll do is:

    • Create separate introduction and summary pages (outside of Sensei).
    • Link to those pages from the last lesson page i.e. <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>Click here</span> for a summary of this module. <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>Click here</span> for an introduction to the next module.

    It’s not ideal, and a bit cumbersome, but will be OK for now.

    Thanks again.

    Hi @michealrowe1

    I think that what I’ll do is:

    Yes, likely this is the ‘best’ workaround for now. I think your overall idea is a good one – it seems with any kind of course with many lessons, good pedagogy would indicate a summary/review in between modules.

    I also want a summary of the module that shows up after the last lesson in the module. Since the introduction to the module, and the summary of the module would be different, I can’t use the same page.

    Would this be part of the lesson/module review page, or a 3rd type of page between modules (eg, introduction, review, summary)?

    I did create an enhancement request here:

    so you can subscribe to updates and comment there as well.

    Best,

    Cena
