Using the registration form Self-enrolment participants can register themselves for the course in question.
The lecturer can announce the password to the course in his lecture, by e-mail or via PAUL.
This tutorial explains how to enable and disable self-enrollment and how to change the password.

Activate self-enrollment[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
Note: The ZIM activates the self-enrollment on request and sets a password.
- Self-enrollment will be renamed to Registration participant for participants and - if necessary - Registration lecturer for lecturers.
- If you want to change the existing password, please read on below!
- This part of the instructions assumes that self-enrollment has not yet been activated.
- In the overview you will find the following registration methods:
- Manual enrolment (always active) (1): This method allows lecturers & assistants, participants and staff to enrol by hand. Please do NOT make any changes!
- Self-enrolment (student) (2): This method can be edited/activated and allows students to enrol themselves in the course.
- Add method (3): This menu item allows you to enable a new/additional self-enrolment method
Now click on the Edit-symbol of the self-enrollment!
The self-enrollment overview appears. Here there are many setting options, but only four of these are really important for activation.
- Description (1): Here you set the name of the registration. We recommend Participant registration as title. This title will then be displayed to the logon participants.
- Allow existing enrolments (2): The field must be set to YES for the enrolment method to be active.
- Enrollment key (3): This field must be set to YES so that the enrollment method is active.
- You can display the password via the eye symbol.
- Empty means registration without password (any PANDA user can join the course).

- Welcome text (4): If desired, you can leave a welcome message for the newly registered participants.
- Finally, please click on "Save changes".
Afterwards the self-enrollment is active.
