What is Self-Enrollment?
Self-enrollment is a feature that allows admins to set certain courses to be open to sign up directly by the Learners on the platform. This essentially allows people to access courses without the need to have them assigned to them by an admin.
How do I Enable Self-Enrollment
There are a few ways to enable self-enrollment on your Infinite platform:
Single Course
Multiple Courses
Learning Plans
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-enrollment”.
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-enrollment up”.
It is important to keep in mind that when you bulk enable self-enrolllment and limit it to Groups, you will not see the Groups listed when you go to the same path to enable.
In order to see what Group the self-enrollment is limited to, you must edit the single course, click the three dots, and then click settings. Here you can see what Group(s) this course is limited to.
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-enrollment”.
Keep in mind that once a course is marked as available for self-enrollment it will appear on the Learn page for all people. Even without assigning the course, it will still appear when searched for on the home page/user dashboard. So, people 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.
Learning Plans
First, navigate to Admin > Learning Plans > then Edit the plan.
From here, click the three dots (...) in the top right corner, then toggle it on. Here you can then choose to have it open for all users or users limit it to specific Groups that you choose.
Once you select your Groups/open for all users, click save settings. This will then allow People to access this Learning Plan via their Learn tab.
Once you click on it, it will allow you to start the Learning Plan right away.
Limit to Groups
You are also able to limit the self-enrollment to specific groups. Following the steps above, navigate to the settings page of the course. Here you will see the options for self-enrollment.
Clicking the drop-down box after toggling self-enrollment 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. Select the group(s) you want to limit the self-enrollment 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).
