You can set several keys or options to enroll in a Moodle course. Primarily, users enter courses through Peppi implementations, instruction. Other options include meta linking and using an enrollment key. 

With the meta link, students enrolled in another course can automatically access the contents of other courses as well. By making a meta link, you can configure students in a particular course to be assigned to a specific group in a linked, new course. 

To access the course, the teacher can also specify a key, i.e., a password, and the student can enroll to a specific course.  If there are, e.g., group assignments in the course, and the student must be involved in the group in one way or another – the student either makes the group choice himself or the teacher does it. Read more: Moodle: Groups and groupings  and Moodle: Group work . 

The sub-course activity creates a link to another course and allows the grade formed by working in one course to be directly transferred to another course.

4. If you wish, you can also create a welcome message for students that they will see when they join as a course member. 

B. Always remember to save changes. If the Self-Registration (Student) registration method is not found in the list, you can add it via the drop-down menu (Select> Self enrolment ). Specify the information according to section A.

 

 

NOTE! To allow any Moodle user to enroll for the course, enable self-enrollment, but do not add a course key. If you want to limit the course to a specific group, you must specify the key and notify them separately.

In the search box, type the name of the user you want to add and press to add the desired user from the list of users suggested by Moodle to the correct user information. In addition to the name, the user sees an e-mail address. People may have the same name or may have an expired ID, so be careful. You can add as many users as you need at one time. 

Finally, click Enrol users
