With self enrolment, students can join your course themselves. Self enrolment is enabled on a course by default.
You can configure a enrolment key for self enrolment from the course front page, from managing tools.
You can then inform students of the course name or url address (while on the main course page, copy the address from the browser address bar), as well as the enrolment key, and ask them to join the course.
If you wish to configure more settings for self enrolment, go to Participants in the left navigation and then press the gearwheel in the right side and then Enrolment methods.
You can configure the self enrolment registration settings by clicking on the gearwheel at the right side of the Self enrolment (Student) line. The "Add method" button at the bottom allows you to add more self enrolment methods to the course, e.g., a single enrolment method for non-editing teachers and another for students.
The most important setting is the enrolment key, without a key anyone can join the course.
You can set/change the key by clicking the pen icon and you can see what you wrote by clicking the eye icon.
You may want a group enrolment key, if you wish to add students in different groups when they register, if so change the "No" to "Yes".
With other settings you can e.g.
- determine the role that the person joining the course will receive (you can add your own self enrolment to teacher, non-editing teacher, and student roles).
- limit the time spent on the course (the participant is automatically removed from the course, e.g. after 30 days).
- determine when this registration method is in use, i.e., limit enrolment to the course within a certain time period.
- remove inactive users, i.e., if a participant does not attend a course for e.g. 30 days, he or she will be removed from the course.
- set an upper limit on the number of participants, i.e. how many students can join the course.
- send a welcome message to course participants.
If you need help with the settings, you can check them on Moodle.org or contact DigiCampus support.
