Enrolment plugins
From MoodleDocs
There are various plugins for managing course enrolments:
- Authorize.net Payment Gateway
- External database
- Flat file
- Internal enrolment (default)
- IMS Enterprise (1.6)
- LDAP
- Paypal
Template:Moodle 1.6 Moodle 1.6 supports multi-enrolment, with one plugin set as the default plugin for interactive enrolment.
There are two aspects to enrolment plugins:
- Login-time enrolment lookups. These perform a lookup against an LDAP/AD, database or SIS server. You can have several plugins set to perform login-time lookups.
- Interactive enrolment. These trigger only when a user tries to join a course -- and may ask for an enrolment key, a a payment via PayPal, Google Checkout, or a credit card gateway.
Unenrolment may be controlled by the following:
- The longtimenosee variable in Administration >> Configuration >> Variables, 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.
