Self Enrollment

Self Enrollment

OVERVIEW

By enabling self enrollment as an enrollment method, you can enable users to enroll themselves into a course by simply clicking on "Enroll me" on the course page. You can also set an enrollment key so that only users with whom you have shared that key will be able to enroll themselves into your course. 
USE CASE EXAMPLE:

Adding a self-enrollment option for courses in a Learning Management System (LMS) used for internal staff training can provide several benefits. Here's a use case example to illustrate how this feature can be advantageous:

Professional Development Courses

Imagine a large organization that offers a wide range of professional development courses to its employees. These courses cover various topics such as leadership, project management, and technical skills. The company wants to empower employees to take ownership of their learning and career development. Here's how the self-enrollment option can be beneficial:
  1. Employee Autonomy
  2. Flexible Learning
  3. Continuous Learning Culture
  4. Access to Diverse Topics
  5. Supports Personal Development Plans
  6. Reduced Administrative Burden
  7. Increased Course Engagement
  8. Resource Optimization
  9. Feedback and Improvement
  10. Cost-Efficiency
In this use case, the self-enrollment option in the LMS encourages a culture of continuous learning and empowers employees to take ownership of their professional development. It also streamlines administrative processes and allows the organization to align training resources with employee interests and needs, ultimately resulting in a more engaged and skilled workforce.

ENABLE SELF ENROLLMENT

Step 1: In the relevant course, click on "Enrollment methods."

Step 2: From the "Add method" drop-down list, select "Self enrollment."



Step 3: You can leave all settings as default. If you would like to set an enrollment key, you can enter it here and make sure that it is enabled by clicking the "eye" icon (  ) to completely open. 
Note: If you set an enrollment key, you will need to send this key to the users whom you wish to allow the self-enrollment option. 



Tip: If you would like to change the default settings, you can click on the question mark icon   
(  ) to see an explanation of what the setting does. 
Once you're done, scroll down and click "Add method."



Self enrollment will now be displayed under "Enrollment methods." 



Depending on whether you set an enrollment key, users logged in to your Pluto LMS site will now be able to enroll themselves for your course (with or without an enrollment key).
