Managing course enrolments
There are several ways to manage course enrolments (or enrollments). These are called Enrolment plugins and include:
- Authorize.net Payment Gateway
- External database
- Flat file
- Internal enrolment (default)
- IMS Enterprise (from 1.6 onwards)
- LDAP
- Paypal
- OSCommerce (non-standard)
Multi-enrolment
Template:Moodle 1.6 From Moodle 1.6 onwards, multi-enrolment is supported, with one plugin set as the default plugin for interactive enrolment.
Interactive enrolment
Interactive enrolment triggers only when a user tries to enrol on a course. The user has to do something interactively in order to be enrolled, such as clicking "Yes, I do" (Internal enrolment), or paying some money (Authorize.net Payment Gateway, Paypal).
The interactive enrolment plugin for a particular course may be selected on the Course settings page.
Login-time enrolment lookups
Login-time enrolment lookups perform a lookup against an LDAP/AD, database or SIS server. You can have several plugins set to perform login-time lookups.
Unenrolment
Unenrolment may be controlled by the following:
- The longtimenosee variable in Administration > Configuration > Variables (or Administration > Server > Cleanup in 1.8), which specifies the time limit for which, if students haven't logged in, they are unenrolled from courses.
- The Enrolment duration in the course settings, which unenrols students after the specified time has elapsed.
- Enrolment plugins may decide that the enrolment has expired; for example, if it is not present or current in an LDAP, Database or SIS server.
