==Managing course enrolment==<br />
Once you have set up [[Authentication|user authentication]], [[Add/edit courses|created some courses]] and assigned teachers to them, the next thing to consider is [[Enrollment|course enrollment]] i.e. assigning users the role of student in a course.<br />
<br />
Moodle provides a number of ways of managing course enrollment, called ''enrollment plugins''. They include:<br />
<br />
*[[Authorize.net Payment Gateway]]<br />
*[[External database]]<br />
*[[Flat file]]<br />
*[[IMS Enterprise]] (from 1.6 onwards)<br />
*[[Internal enrollment]] (default method)<br />
*[[LDAP enrollment|LDAP]]<br />
*[[Paypal]]<br />
*[[Moodle Network]] (from 1.8 onwards)<br />
*[[Enrollment/OSCommerce|OSCommerce]] (non-standard)<br />
<br />
==Setting the enrolment method==<br />
[[Image:enrolment plugins.png|thumb|Choosing an enrolment plugin]]<br />
To set the enrolment method:<br />
#Click on Courses in the Site Administration block, then Enrolments.<br />
#On the enrolments page, click the enable checkbox opposite your chosen enrolment plugin. If you wish, you may choose more than one enrolment method. For example if you have some courses which students must pay for and some free courses, you can use PayPal and internal enrolment.<br />
#Select the default plugin for interactive enrolment (see below). <br />
#Click the "Save changes" button.<br />
#Click on Edit opposite the enrolment plugin(s) you have chosen.<br />
#Configure the required settings and click the "Save changes" button.<br />
<br />
==Multi-enrolment==<br />
From Moodle 1.6 onwards, multi-enrolment is supported, with one plugin set as the default plugin for interactive enrolment.<br />
<br />
==Interactive enrolment==<br />
<br />
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]]).<br />
<br />
The interactive enrolment plugin for a particular course may be selected on the [[Course settings]] page. <br />
<br />
==Login-time enrolment lookups==<br />
<br />
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.<br />

<hr />
<div>Course enrolment is about assigning users the role of student in a course.<br />
<br />
By default, students can enrol themselves on whatever courses they choose. This method of enrolment is called [[Internal enrolment|internal enrolment]]. You can restrict users from enrolling on whatever courses they choose by setting an [[Enrolment key|enrolment key]].<br />
<br />
Whilst internal enrolment is an effective and efficient way to of managing course enrolment, particularly if you don't have a lot of courses, Moodle also provides a number of other enrolment methods, called [[Enrolment plugins]].<br />
