Adding students to courses

When you create a new course, you will be redirected to the Participants page, where you can add participants, configure settings for adding participants and assign roles to participants.

You can also access the Participants page from the course homepage by selecting Participants from the Managing tools.

Adding participants to a course manually

• On the Participants page, click Enrol users.
• Search for the person you want to add by name and in the window that opens, make sure that the user's role in the course is correct. This will allow you to search and add people to the course.
• You can also add entire cohorts to the course (see Cohorts).
• People are added to a course when you select Enrol selected users and cohorts.

Self enrolment

Students can register for the course themselves if self-registration is enabled.

On the Participants page, select the Action menu (wheel) and choose Enrolment methods.  

Make sure that Self enrolment is enabled (there is no line on the eye icon).

If Self enrolment is not available, you can add the registration method by selecting Add method.

You can restrict Self enrolment in a course by setting the course key from the Managing tools on the course homepage.

Sharing roles at course level

The administrator/manager at system level or the person in the role of teacher on the course can share different roles on the course.

When a person is added to a course or registers for a course, their role always defaults to student. 

When adding people to a course manually, their role can be changed in the same context.

For a person who is already on the course, the role can be changed on the Participants page.

• Click on the person's role (pen icon)
• In the box that appears, start typing in a new role and select it from the list.
• Save the new role.
