Add a 'Free access, pay for certificate' access mode option. Users can access the course content for free, but if they wish to receive their certificate, they must pay. 

Customers' full comment:

Our charity provides one of our two courses completely free of charge to ensure that the conservation knowledge and skills aren't hidden behind a paywall. We then offer the option for people to pay for the certificate to demonstrate that they have completed the course and support the charitable work of our foundation.

At the moment LearnDash doesn't have an access mode of 'Free access, pay for certificate' so we work around this with a paid for group https://greenfins.net/groups/dive-guide-ecourse-certificate that grants a certificate when the associated course is completed.

This works fairly well but we would like people to pay for the certificate again after two years when their course access expires. That way the user has to re-complete the course and pay for the certificate every two years.

Would you consider adding the access mode so that we can use the standard course expiry functionality, or could you please add a group expiration feature? I understand that Uncanny Owl has this but we are already running 20+ plugins and as a small charity don't have the budget.

Summary:

In the LearnDash profile shortcode [ld_profile], also display when are the courses expiring if they have the course expiration setting enabled.

Customer's Context:

It would be great if the user could see on the front end when a course will expire.

See below example with toggle option to activate

Summary:
The customer would like the ability to put a soft timer on course steps when the student is progressing the course, which is not visible to the students/users. The soft timer, once up, will intimate the instructors, and the instructors can get in touch with the student, asking them regarding any difficulties they're facing while moving ahead in the course.

Customer's Context:
We are an RTO and run online courses via Zoom but have our student complete their work via LearnDash, what we are finding are that students / users are struggling with the content but they are not voicing up and asking for help. They do some of the questions in the activity but then sit on it and don't submit the activity until later. Our instructors can partially monitor the situation based what activity the class is up to and what students have submitted. However some classes are quite large and the instructor is grading what has been submitted and does not have time to monitor if students hasn't submitted anything or if students are keeping up with the class.

 My question is there a way to monitor or track to see how a student is progressing even if they haven't submitted anything? If a student is struggling it would be great if the instructor was notified by LearnDash and then the instructor can talk to them before they are left behind. It is more of a proactive way rather than a reactive as we can address the problem before it gets worse. There are a lot of solutions and reports for checking once they are submitted but that is more reactive and only if the student has submitted work. I am trying to think of solutions to this problem, I’ll explain them below. I am happy if anyone have any ideas please let me know. 

One solution that could work is to place a soft time limit option on the activity. When an user goes over the soft time limit rather than auto submitting the activity it sends the instructor an email notification that an user has gone over the soft time limit. We can set appropriate soft time limits on activities. It would be good if we can make the soft time limit not visible to the user or can toggle visibility off and on. We will need the soft time limit to countdown behind the scenes and keep counting down even if the user has navigated away from the activity. An option we would like it if instructors can manually start the soft time limit for the activity so that all students have similar time limits.

Another solution could be that instructors do like a soft sign off on activities as the lesson progresses. Any students that haven’t submitted that activity, the instructor will get an email notification letting them know what student(s) haven’t submitted that activity. Can be done as a list or visually so that instructors know who hasn’t submitted after the soft sign off.

Another possible solution is to see in real time what students are typing into the fields.

These are just some ideas but if anyone have any ideas that can work I would like to hear them and hopefully we can get them implemented. As mentioned it is mainly for the instructor to proactively approach any students that are struggling rather than students approach instructors before it’s too late.

If you have any questions for me please let me know.

Thank you,

Summary:
The customer would like the ability to customize the view questions button text via LearnDash LMS > Settings > Advanced > Custom labels

Customer's Context:

To allow us to quickly change the View Questions Button Label (quiz_view_questions_button_label) it would be great if it was part of the Advanced -> Custom Labels section in the future.

We could edit the PHP but it would get a reset with every upgrade. Using the translation files seems a bit to complex for such a simple modification.

I prefer the button is called: Show Answers and Review vs the current one and wish to do this in the Custom Labels section.

Thanks!

Is it possible to have the message, "Please do not close your browser until you see your score," or something like that? This would be convenient because users may not know that if they close it, before the score, it could wipe out their results.
