WooCommerce Paid Courses joins Sensei LMS with WooCommerce so a course purchase grants access to the course and tracks progress on the Sensei side. Sensei stores learner status as comments on the course and lesson posts with comment types such as sensei_course_status and sensei_lesson_status, with comment meta carrying the actual state: in-progress, complete, passed, failed. The default screen shows progress per learner per course, which is good for one report but not for an instructor scanning their whole cohort.

SleekView reads the Sensei status comments directly, joined to the learner from wp_users and the course title from the course post. The status meta is the natural column to group by, so the board shows one column per real progress state with the actual count at the top. Learner name, course title, lesson position, and last activity timestamp ride on the card front so the instructor sees the cohort at a glance.

Drag an In progress card to Complete after grading a final assignment and SleekView writes the new status through the standard Sensei update path, so the same completion hooks and certificate triggers fire as on the Sensei screen. Failed and Complete columns sit on the right so finished learners do not crowd the working columns, and filters scope the board to one course when the catalogue is large.

Sensei already models a learner journey as a sequence of statuses on each course and lesson. A learner starts In progress, moves through lessons, then ends up Passed, Failed, or Complete depending on the course type. The default Sensei screen surfaces this progress per learner per course, which is exactly right for a one-on-one check-in but wrong for an instructor scanning a cohort.

SleekView Kanban reads the same Sensei status comments and groups them by status, so In progress fills with the active cohort, Passed and Failed group around the assessment moment, and Complete sits on the right as the finished bucket. An instructor reads the shape of the cohort in one glance, drags Passed cards after grading, and reaches out to stalled In progress learners directly from the card front. Sensei still owns the underlying status changes and certificate generation, only the way the instructor reads the cohort changes.
