The learning environment offers numerous enrolment methods that allows users to self-register in a course. Each enrolment method handles very specific use cases and as such, requires the instructor to be very familiar with all of them to make sure they enable the right one.
- Is the course free or for a fee?
- Is the course self-paced or instructor-led?
- Does the course require the supervisor or instructor to approve the enrollment?
The following self-enrolment methods are available. Please note however that not all methods will be enabled in your system depending on your use cases.
- E-Commerce
- E-Commerce (with Sessions)
- PayPal
- PayPal Pro
- Self-enrolment
- Session Enrollments
- Supervisor Approval
* In order to facilitate the instructor's job, Dual Code has developed a new self-enrollment method that will replace / combine all the methods above. This omnipotent self enrollment method will be available to all clients in 2023 with the 4.x release.
Step-by-step Guide
In order to enable any of the self-enrolment methods on an individual course:
- Navigate to the course in question
- Go to Course Administration > Users > Enrolment methods
- If the method is already in the table but simply disabled (greyed out), you can enable it by clicking on the eye icon next to it.
- One you enable it, click on the edit icon next to it to make sure it is configured properly. For example, if you want to charge a fee for a course, make sure you configure the appropriate fee in the respective enrolment method's settings.
- If the method is NOT already in the table, you can add it by selecting it from the "Add method" dropdown menu.
- If you are adding the method, you will automatically be prompted to configure it properly.
