Self enrolment (Learner) for Programs
by Vijay Rudraraju - Thursday, 31 May 2018, 11:56 AM
 

We are planning on publishing 30+programs - none of these are compulsory. Therefore manual enrolment is not suitable.

The learner self-enrolment feature works very well for courses.

Wondering if there is a way for learners to self-enrol into programs?

If this is not possible, have you used any tricks to get self enrolment to work for programs?

We are using Totara v2.7.

Hi Craig, I just assumed users would be able to self-enrol and unenrol from programs if you allowed this. I'm a bit shocked this isn't available. Is it coming?

Thanks Patrick,

Unfortunately learners don't have access to edit their profiles.

Unfortunately, we would like to limit access to the appropriate programs.

Vijay - Here's my preferred core method:
  • Create a single activity course with a label activity that the user self-completes (check box)
  • Completing the label activity completes the course
  • Dynamic audience created for all users who complete course
  • Audience enrollment in desired Program
Not perfect, but allows for self-enrollment in programs

Thanks Alex,

This makes sense. More work for trainer/admin but better/easier process for the learners.

Hi Alex,

I have used the method you described to allow self-enrollment in programs:
  • Create a single activity course with a label activity that the user self-completes (check box)
  • Completing the label activity completes the course
  • Dynamic audience created for all users who complete course
  • Audience enrollment in desired Program
Because these programs are essentially pathways, there may be situations where the learner having completed some of the courses (80%) wants to withdraw from the program. 

Is there an easy way for the learner to uneroll from the program (self-unenrollment)?

OR

We can ask them to contact us (site managers). Is there an easy way for site managers to uneroll them?

Many thanks,
Vijay
