Seminar direct enrolment


Article summary

Seminar direct enrolment is an enrolment method which allows users not enrolled in a course to sign up to a seminar event and enrols them in the course.

When enabled for a course the seminar direct enrolment plugin allows users not enrolled in a course to sign up to a seminar event. By signing up to the seminar event the user will be automatically enrolled into the course and will be given access to all other activities contained within the course.

See the Enrolment method settings page for information on the configurable settings.

When using the seminar direct enrolment method you can enable the Automatically sign users up to seminar events setting to automatically sign learners up to the first available event for each seminar activity in the course. If there are multiple seminars with multiple events, learners will be signed up to each seminar (while accounting for scheduling conflicts, event booking limits, etc.).

If using this setting in a course with multiple seminar activities you should warn learners before they enrol on the course. Alternatively, you should limit your use of this setting to courses with only one seminar activity.

Where manager approval is required for seminar event sign up, the user will need to wait for this approval to be granted before gaining access to other activities.

The amount of enrolments displayed on the course page is controlled by two settings:

  • Site level: Under the quick-access menu go to Plugins > Enrolments > Seminar direct enrolment plugin where an admin can set a default value for all courses with the seminar direct enrolment method
  • Course level: Under an individual course's seminar direct enrolment method where the admin can set a different value

The values are: All (default), 2, 4, 8, and 16 for both settings.

If you disable any enrolment method, such as seminar direct enrolment, users who are only enrolled by this method will have their enrolment disabled. While they will remain enrolled in the course, they won't be able to access course activities (e.g. seminars), and their progress and completion tracking will be paused until the enrolment method is reenabled, or until they enrol to that course using an alternative method.
