Description
Self-enrollment allows admins to set certain courses to be open to self-enrollment. This essentially allows users to access courses without the need to have them assigned to them by an admin.
How to Enable Self-Enrollment
There are a few ways to enable self-enrollment on your Infinite platform:
Single Course
Multiple Courses
Content Store
Single Course
To enable self-enrollment for a single course, navigate to the course via Admin > Learning > find the course > Edit > click the three dots next to the assign button at the top right > click Settings.
Toggle “Open for self-signup”.
Multiple Courses
To bulk enable self-enrollment, navigate to Admin > Learning > Select the course(s) you want to edit > Click the icon for self-enrollment settings.
Toggle “Open for self-signup”.
Content Store
You can enable self-enrollment while also importing courses from the Content Store!
Navigate to Admin > Learning > Content Store > Import a course > Toggle “Open for self-signup”.
Keep in mind that once a course is marked as available for self-signup it will appear on the Learn page for all users. Even without assigning the course, it will still appear when searched for on the home page/user dashboard. So, users will be able to access the courses as if they were assigned to them.
Important Note
The course(s) are not assigned until the user starts them. This means that the course(s) will not appear in reporting for the user. They will also not be visible in the assignments until the user starts the course once.
When a user launches a course (by clicking “Start”), the course will be assigned to them, and thus data regarding the assignment will appear in reporting.
Limit to Groups
You are also able to limit the self-signup to specific groups. Following the steps above, navigate to the settings page of the course. Here you will see the options for self-signup.
Clicking the drop-down box after toggling self-signup will provide you with another drop-down box that you can select from.
Click the Search for Groups... box, and you will be presented with all the groups in the company. Selecting the group(s) you want to limit the self-signup to.
Once you have selected the group(s) you want this available for, you can exit out of the pop-up menu (it should auto-save the options).
