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 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, Go to the Participants tab in the top course menu then choose Enrolment methods in the drop-down menu below. The Enrolment methods page will show you a summary of which methods are enabled. Where a method appears in light grey it has been deactivated. To set up an enrolment key in a course for the first time, unhide the Self enrolment method from the list then click the Settings cog. This will bring up a series of options for you to configure, such as:
- enrolment key (if left blank, anyone can enrol into the course),
- enrolment duration,
- start/end dates for the self-enrolment to be open,
- maximum number of enrolled users, and
...
- course welcome message - which is emailed to all new students in your course (and can be an effective introductory touch)
...
- .
To edit an existing self-enrolment method, click on the cog icon alongside Self enrolment. 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.
