Think of a suitable password. Make the key easy for someone else to copy/write down but don't set it to the same as the course or module title - as these are too easy to guess. You may click the Unmask option to view your key in plain-text. For example, a colour e.g. 'purple' is easy to spell, doesn't use any special characters , but is difficult to guess.

How do I set one up?

There are are few options to specify when setting up an enrolment key, such as student enrolment duration, start/end dates, maximum number of enrolled users and the course welcome message - which is emailed to all new students in your course (and can be an effective introductory touch)  

From within your course click the Settings navigation tab, if you are within an activity you may need to expand the Course administration sub-menu. From within Course course Course, administration expand Users and then expand Enrolment methods. Click on the 'Edit' pencil alongside Self enrolment (Student). This will load a page of options, including where to set the Enrolment key. If no key is set, you may enter any key phrase or term into this area.
