This functionality is one that is used by many of our Enterprise customers and supports different learning use cases, including:
-
Giving Program Managers the ability to suggest a followup Course for learners to enroll themselves in
-
Making it possible to have an always-on library of Courses for new hires and extending the value of content
-
Allowing motivated learners to take additional courses if desired
Enabling self-enrollments can be done when initially creating the Course or at any time afterwards, even after the Course has launched by toggling the "Turn on Self-Enrollments" switch.
Learner Experience
Once self-enrollments are allowed, any enabled user on the site will see the Course listed as available for them, should they choose to enroll themselves.
The Course will proceed with the spacing settings that have been chosen and the learner will receive a welcome email, should that feature be enabled.
Program Manager Experience
Current reporting includes Program Managers being able to see which Courses have the self-enrollment feature enabled.
In addition, Program Managers are able to see which participants have self-enrolled in specific Courses. There is also a column that can be displayed on the Courses > Manage learners page that easily shows exactly who has self-enrolled.
