Limited duration enrollments

If you want to enroll someone shopping your course but have them automatically removed if they don't register for your course, use the enrollment duration setting when enrolling a user.  After you click on the "Enroll users" button to open the "Enroll Users" pop-up window, click on "Enrollment options" Show more ... link and set the duration of the enrollment for 2 weeks (or whatever value you would like).

If the student never officially enrolls in the course, he/she they will be dropped after the enrollment duration expires.  

If the student registers for the course, they will be added via Banner and will remain enrolled after the enrollment duration expires.

Adding users to groups in bulk

You can import a CSV file with a list of users, and their groups, to Moodle to assign course participants to a group upon import.  This can be handy when creating many sets of groups within a course.  

To do this:

• Go to your Moodle course

• Click on Participants → Bulk Enrollments

• Import your CSV

Sample CSV Import File

email,group
"aweed1@swarthmore.edu","Group A"
"aruethe2@swarthmore.edu","Group A"
"aturner2@swarthmore.edu","Group A"
"dwillen1@swarthmore.edu","Group D"
"jword1@swarthmore.edu","Group J"
"aweed1@swarthmore.edu","Group B"

• Configure the options in Mappings and Other Settings

• Click Enroll them to my course

After clicking Enroll them to my course, the plugin will redirect you back to the Bulk Enrollments page. Click on Participants to ensure the import went through.

Removing Users

If you would like to remove a user from the course, go to Administration Block → Course Administration → Users → Enrolled Users.  Click on the "X" click the Participants link at the top of the course, then click on the trash can icon on the far right of a user record.  

Modifying Users and Changing Roles

If you need to add or change the role of a manually-added user, go to Administration Block → Course Administration → Users → Enrolled Users and click on the little "plus symbol" at the far right side of the "Roles" column for Participants link at the top of the course, find the user you want to modify, and click on the pencil icon in the Roles column.  From here you can add a new role by clicking on the triangle to expand the list of roles, selecting a role, and clicking in the disk icon to save the change.  For example, if you didn't initially give a user a role when you enrolled them in the course, you could add the "student" role.  To remove a role, just click on the "X" click the pencil to edit roles, then the X next to the name of the role.

Additional Notes

• You cannot remove students enrolled via Banner (Registered Student). The student must be removed via the Registrar's Office.
