eLearning with WP eMember?

[gobigkahuna]

I’m setting up an on line eLearning course on my website and here’s what I’d like to do:

I have a course that I want to offer. The course consists of 30 lessons. At the end of each lesson is a quiz. I’ve set up the website so that only a paid member can access the course. But now I want to set it like so: When the member first arrives the only lesson he has access to is lesson #1. He can access lesson #1 as many times as he likes until he receives a passing grade (80%) on the quiz at the end. Then the only lesson he can access is lesson #2. Then the cycle repeats itself until he’s completed all the lessons in the course at which time he can no longer access anything but maybe his account information which shows that he passed all the lessons.

This is a bit out of the ordinary for WP eMember but I wonder if it might be possible to make it do this somehow? If not, any other inexpensive plugins out there that might do this? I found a couple quiz plugins but none seem to support this either. Any ideas?

You will need custom coding for this type of work as a 3rd party plugin won’t be able to sense when a user actually passes the quiz. I don’t know of any plugin that can handle this without customization. A custom script that can handle something like the following might work:

– Have the quiz script notify a custom script when a user passes the quiz

– The custom script can then upgrade this users membership level/permission so this user can access the next quiz
