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),
- student 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 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.
