Participant management: Open course

Die deutsche Version finden Sie auf der Seite Teilnehmerverwaltung: Offener Kurs

By "Open Courses" we mean PANDA courses in which participants can register themselves without a password. You create these by activating a self-enrollment that does not have the password.
This guide shows you how to add a self-enrollment and set it up accordingly without a password.

Step-by-step instructions[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Call up settings and select enrollment methods[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

First of all, log in to PANDA. Here is the link to https://panda.uni-paderborn.de. Then call up the course you want to work on!

Click on participants in the course view

In the upper left corner you will find a pull-down menu where you can also find the enrollment methods

First click on the arrows and then on enrollment methods!

Important is the self-enrollment (participant).

Select self-enrollment[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

You are now in the settings of the course enrollment methods. Manual enrollment is preset by default.
This method allows instructors & assistants to manually enroll participants and staff. Please DO NOT make any changes to this!
Click on the Edit-Settings icon of the existing self-enrollment or add a new self-enrollment under "Add Method"!

Now a new window of self-enrollment opens, in which you can make many settings:

Designation (1): Here you set the name of the application. We recommend Registration Participant as title. This will then be displayed to the person registering.
Allow existing enrolments/ Allow self-enrolment (2): Both fields must be set to YES so that the enrolment method is active and participants can enrol themselves.
Enrolment key (3): This is the crucial field that you must leave blank so that a registration without password is possible. This allows any PANDA user to join the course.

If you would like to assign a password, you will find instructions here.

Enrollment start/end (4): Here you can set a period of time during which participants can register.

Welcome text (5): If desired, you can store a welcome message for the newly registered participants here.
Finally, please click on Add method (6).

Edit self-registration afterwards[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Your self-registration is now displayed.
