Participant management: Open course

Die deutsche Version finden Sie auf der Seite Teilnehmerverwaltung: Offener Kurs

By "Open Courses" we mean PANDA courses in which participants can register themselves without a password. You create these by activating a self-enrollment that does not have the password.
This guide shows you how to add a self-enrollment and set it up accordingly without a password.

Call up settings and select enrollment methods[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

First of all, you need to go to PANDA to select your desired course.

Then call up your course settings by clicking on the gear (1) at the top right.
In the window that opens, select the "enrolment methods" (2).

Select self-enrollment[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

You are now in the enrollment methods. The manual enrollment is the default setting.

This method allows lecturers & assistants, participants and employees to enrol manually. Please do NOT make any changes!

So under "Add method" click on the Self-enrollment.

Now a new window of self-enrollment opens, in which you can make many settings:

Designation (1): Here you set the name of the application. We recommend Registration Participant as title. This will then be displayed to the person registering.
Allow existing enrolments/ Allow self-enrolment (2): Both fields must be set to YES so that the enrolment method is active and participants can enrol themselves.
Enrolment key (3): This is the crucial field that you must leave blank so that a registration without password is possible. This allows any PANDA user to join the course.

If you would like to assign a password, you will find instructions here.

Enrollment start/end (4): Here you can set a period of time during which participants can register.

Welcome text (5): If desired, you can store a welcome message for the newly registered participants here.
Finally, please click on Add method (6).

Edit self-registration afterwards[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Your self-registration is now displayed.

: Method is active and visible. Can be made inactive/invisible by clicking on inactive/invisible.
