SEV Instructor Cockpit for LearnDash

Changelog

1.17.0

• Course participants who only have access via a group are now marked as such in the participant list.
• Fixed adding/removing a course participant unintentionally also enrolling every group-based participant directly in the course.
• Instructors can now open a course on the frontend once it’s published or private, or preview it beforehand while it’s still a draft, pending review, or scheduled – directly from the course list and its detail page.
• Fixed a scheduled (“Planned”) course’s status change not actually taking effect – saving silently left it scheduled instead.
• Fixed the structure editor failing to load or save for a course set to Pending Review.

1.16.0

• Fixed adding/removing a course participant failing once the course was set to Pending Review.
• Fixed the “Remove” action on a course participant appearing to succeed but doing nothing when their course access came from a group rather than direct enrollment – it’s no longer offered for them, since that’s not something removable from the course participant list.
• Course titles and the Dashboard’s course-progress/recently-edited lists now get more room instead of the progress bar stretching to fill the row.
• The Dashboard’s “Active learners” chart no longer grows oversized now that its card spans the full width.

1.15.1

• Corrected the 1.14.0 changelog entry below: the field is called “Last Login”, shown on a participant’s own detail page – only the active/inactive counts are on the Dashboard.

1.15.0

• Instructors can now see and change a course’s status (Published/Draft/Pending Review/Private) and see its date, directly on the course detail page.
• Fixed courses vanishing from every “my courses” view (Bausteine, the structure editor, participants, the Dashboard, the course list) once set to Pending Review.

1.14.0

• A participant’s “Last Login” field – shown on their own detail page, and used for the Dashboard’s active/inactive counts – is now tracked directly by this plugin on every login, instead of relying on another plugin to set it.

1.13.0

• Fixed the structure editor’s “available lessons/topics” panel, which could show lessons or topics from courses unrelated to the instructor once one of their other courses had none of its own – caused by a scoping bug in the Instructor Role plugin’s own lesson/topic lookup, worked around with our own endpoints.

1.12.3

• Updated the Pro add-on description: it now also covers assignment grading, user management, group management, and the dashboard’s open-assignments/recent-essays widgets, which had been missing from this list.

1.12.2

• Corrected the 1.10.0 changelog entry below, which implied the Dashboard’s “recently edited” list included groups – it only lists courses.

1.12.1

• Corrected the 1.12.0 changelog entry below, which incorrectly described group participant management – a Pro-only feature – as part of this release.

1.12.0

• Instructors can now remove a participant from a course directly on its detail page.
• Course participant lists split into two, evenly balanced columns once there are more than 5 entries.
• Participant rows highlight on hover, and edit-title buttons across the course list, Bausteine list, and structure editor now only show on row hover.
• The course participant picker now preloads candidates and filters them instantly while typing, with its pager moved above the list.
• The course participant picker’s checkboxes are now sized to meet WCAG’s minimum touch-target size.

1.11.0

• Instructors can now set a course’s featured image directly from its detail page; the course list’s thumbnail links there too.
• Course titles, and the Bausteine list’s lesson/topic/quiz titles, can now be renamed inline without leaving the list.
• The courses and users tables now show a total count below the list.
• The Dashboard’s recently edited courses are now linked to their detail page, and the course-progress table is paged.
• Dashboard translations now load through WordPress’s standard translation system, so community-contributed translations from translate.wordpress.org take effect.
• Fixed a permission check so instructors can only look up users they’re already allowed to see.
• Fixed the structure editor’s two-panel layout collapsing to a single column once the Pro add-on loads.

1.10.0

• A course’s “last modified” date now updates when its structure changes, a lesson/topic/quiz title changes, or a participant is enrolled – so the Dashboard’s “recently edited” list reflects those changes too.
• The Dashboard’s course-progress table is now paged to 10 rows at a time.
• Participants who are no longer a member of the site are excluded from Dashboard counts.

1.9.0

• Added a Dashboard: course overview, participant activity (including a 7-day active-learners trend), and a simplified per-course learning-progress table. With the Pro add-on: open-assignments and recent-essays widgets on the same page.
• Published the source code and build tools behind this plugin’s dashboard JavaScript (see “Source Code” above).

1.8.0

• Added self-service two-factor authentication: set up an authenticator app and generate backup codes from a new “Edit Profile” page (Avatar menu > Edit Profile). Requires the separate “Two-Factor” plugin.
• With the Pro add-on: added a Settings > Design & Branding page — customize the site title, favicon (with a built-in crop tool), logo, cockpit header logo, and LearnDash’s accent colors, all from within the Cockpit.

1.7.0

• Renamed the dashboard’s own URL from /instructor-dashboard/ to /instructor-cockpit/, matching its “Instructor Cockpit” branding.
• Improved the mobile menu: it now overlays the page instead of pushing content down, and closes on an outside click or Escape.

1.6.0

• Translations can now be contributed by the community via translate.wordpress.org.

1.5.0

• Renamed to “Instructor Cockpit”.
• The dashboard title (shown in the header and browser tab) and the “Edit in WP Admin” link text can now be customized under Settings > Instructor Cockpit.

1.4.0

• Added a “Building Blocks” tab listing every lesson, topic, and quiz across all of an instructor’s courses.
• Refreshed the icons throughout the navigation and course structure editor.
• Made the Users table usable on mobile screens.

1.3.0

• Added a visual, drag-and-drop course structure editor: reorder, add, and remove lessons, topics, and quizzes; group final quizzes together; add section headings; undo changes before saving.

1.2.0

• Added a Users tab with search, sorting, and a detail page for each user.
• With the Pro add-on active: edit, delete, and add users directly from the dashboard, and manage their group membership.

1.1.0

• Made the course list searchable, sortable, and usable on mobile screens.

1.0.0

• Initial release.
