moderated enrolment

Summary

This is an enrolment plug-in to allow moderated enrolment onto courses.

Description

The moderated enrolment plug-in allows a mentor to manage user enrolment onto courses.

When the course is set up to use this method of enrolment the student level user will have to request access to the course. They do this by entering the email of their mentor into Moodle.

Once this is done Moodle then sends an email to the mentor with a link to approve or cancel the users request for enrolment onto the course.

When the mentor accepts the request the student is then notified by email and provided a link to access the course.
