Uploading Users to Sessions

The "Upload users" tool available in the learning environment allows an administrator to upload a user's information and even enroll them in courses. As part of this enhancement, administrators can now also sign up users for specific face-to-face sessions when using the upload tool.

The administrator simply needs to add a new column to the spreadsheet that is to be used to upload users, calling the column session1, session2, sessionN... By specifying the unique ID of each session, the learning environment will automatically sign up the user to one or more specific session(s).

The unique ID of a session is identified by its URL when viewing a session. For example, the unique ID for "http://www.dualcode.com/mod/facetoface/sessions.php?s=139" is 139.

The following spreadsheet for example would add John Smith to session 139, and Jane Doe to sessions 139 and 153.
