Question regarding Course Enrolment and Course Recommendations

Hello everyone,

we have a client that has requested some specific functionality from us.

We did some research on this but we would also like to ask the community of someone had similar requests or implemented something like this.

What they need is:

1. Calendar - the Teacher/Tutor should only see his/hers events and activities (Seminars) where they are planed for.

2. The Enrollment into a Course needs to be approved by a Manager.

3. Manager should be able to recommend courses to a student with a click or share button. And if possible "prebook" a course for a student.

Are these features possible with Totara itself, and if not are there any plugins available for this functionality?

Thank you very much!

Hi Salim

Thanks for detailing some of your requirements - I will describe how this could be achieved withing Totara

1. Calendar - the Teacher/Tutor should only see his/hers events and activities (Seminars) where they are planed for.

if you require a seminar that a trainer is responsibe for the in the Seminar settings under Calendar options select None to display on a trainers calendar seminar activity events will only be displayed as User Events on a confirmed attendee's calendar.

2. The Enrollment into a Course needs to be approved by a Manager.

If the course includes only seminar activities then in the seminar settings there is an approval workflow available

If it is course approval with other activities then adding a learning plan enrolment restricts users only enrol in a course that has been approved in a learning plan

3. Manager should be able to recommend courses to a student with a click or share button. And if possible "prebook" a course for a student.

This is more in the Engage area which has likes and also a recommendation engine. I am not sure what you mean by prebooking a course can you provide more detail?

Hi Craig,

thank you very much for your reply, that was very helpful.

Regarding the Recommendation issue, the client was happy with the feature that Admins can Enrol users into Courses,

Kind regards,
Salim
