Non-public courses are not part of the public ‘content library’ on atingi and thus do not offer ‘self-enrolment’. To bulk-enrol users to those courses, they must have self-registered on atingi beforehand. This is due to data privacy guidelines that do not allow for entering personal email addresses and personal information without the persons prior consent. The user bulk enrol is a Moodle plug-in which is based on having received prior contact information about the users which are being added to a course. This method is enabled by default in every new course and can be used by all roles that have editing rights to add learners to a course.
To add learners via bulk enrolment method, go to your course and then to “Participants”. From here, click the button ‘Bulk Enrol users’.
You can now enter a list of already registered users who are identified by their e-mail addresses into the text field.
After adding the addresses and having clicked on “Enrol Users”, you can check the enrolment details one more time and see the assigned role of the enrolled users (which is by default set to “Learner”).
Your learners will now find the course under “My courses” on their “Home” page. Please note that no notification is being send out when enrolling learners using this method. If you want to send a message to all learners, please use the “Send a message to users” feature.
