Enrolment plugins

Enrolment plugins automate the enrolment process. Please see Enrolment plugins for more information. In general, they can use batch files or receive a verification outside of the course context, to enrol a student in a course. For example:

• There maybe a charge for a course and a student can be automatically enrolled after paying the required fee.
• The school has one non_Moodle database maintained by the registrar and the business office for enrolment of both on-line and classroom students.
