Hi
I am trying to clarify what the difference is between Self Enrolment and Face to Face Direct Enrolment
We are using v2.9
I looked at the help files and I understand how the face to face direct enrolment allows someone to sign up to a F2F without being enrolled.
We have had situations where people haven't been able to enrol as they don't have permission. But when we add the method Self enrolment (learner) they can then do it?
Does this make sense?
Thanks
What F2F direct enrollment does is automatically enroll the user in a course when they sign up for a F2F session.
ie: if you have a bunch of public F2F activities, a user doesn't have to self-enroll in the course and THEN sign up for their desired session - they just need to register for a F2F event to be enrolled in the course
Is there a reason why someone wouldn't be able to sign up to a face to face and given the error 'you do not have permission to enrol in this course'
Once the enrolment method 'self-enrolment (learner)' is enabled, the user is able to enrol in the F2F.
Any ideas? / explanations ?
Thanks
Hi Lucy,
The 'Self-enrolment' Enrolment plugin gives the learner access to the Seminar/F2F via the course enrolment, whereas the 'Seminar direct enrolment' gives access direct (it an be enabled under Site admin>plugins>Enrolments>Manage enrolment plugins).
What you are seeing is the learner not being able to enrol in the course hence: 'you do not have permission to enrol in this course'.
When 'Self-enrolment is enabled' then they can, and therefore can access the Seminar/F2F activity.
Conceptually its kind of useful to think of it like this:-
When 'Self-enrolment' is enabled they can access the course, and then the activities within it.
When the 'Seminar direct enrolment' is enabled they access the Seminar directly, and are enrolled into the course as a result.
Hope this is useful,
cheers,
George.
