E-course on WP: enrollment, payment, etc
Hello!
I have an educational blog where I try to teach English online (blog posts, podcasts, etc), I have received great feedback from some users before on how to organize the content. So now that I have the website and free content ready, I plan to create different paid products/courses online. I don't want to have the basic standard e-course (only videos to watch) but I want something more interactive (I like working with people) so I was thinking about something like this website's model

I just love it. It's a course based on text and video but the instructors keep track of students' progress, they have a (private, I suppose) Facebook group you can join when you enroll, they organize the course in different modules, have activities for each unit, etc.
So far I have found WP Courseware, which looks great but I'm not sure about how to integrate this with a payment tool. In courseware you can assign a course to a registered user, but I don't know if I would end up with hundreds of users on my site (do I have to host all of them as WP users?). What are the different options? Could I integrate courseware with opencart and yet make the whole thing look like part of my brand and on the same site? Should I create a different domain just for the paid courses or can I just create a Page in my root domain for each of them?
So to sum up, I'm not pretty sure how to deal with enrollment and payment of students, how to integrate the whole thing on my wordpress site.
thanks a lot for your time
EDIT: just found Sensei (from woothemes), which looks awesome too. Has anyone used Sensei with woocommerce?? Maybe that'd be a great solution.
