 Course MetaLink Automatic Enrollment Course MetaLink is an enrolment method which allows you to automatically enrol users from one course into one or more other courses. They can then be added to an existing group or a newly created group. Here our admin enables Course MetaLink from Site Administration, Plugins, Enrollments, Manage Enroll Plugins. She checks that the default settings meet her requirements. For example, are there any roles that she does not want to be synchronised? How would she like the courses to be listed? Teacher Mr Wilson is responsible for onboarding new colleagues. He has three courses, Company Welcome, Policies and Procedures, and the third, IT Skills. He plans to allow the new colleagues to self-enrol into the Company Welcome course. Once they have done this, they will automatically be enrolled into both the Policies and Procedures and the IT Skills course. The Company Welcome course will be the source of enrolments for the two other courses. It's known as the Child Course in Moodle. The Policies and Procedures course and the IT Skills course are known as Parent courses. And he has to go into each one of these and link them to the Company Welcome, the Child Course. Let's see how he can use Course MetaLink to do this. Both capabilities – Configure Meta Enroll Instances and Select Course as MetaLink – must be set to allow for the editing teacher. Here he is in the Policies and Procedures Parent course. From Course Navigation – Participants, he selects Enrollment Methods and adds Course MetaLink now that the admin has enabled it. He's then prompted to search through the courses in which he has the editing teacher role. Admins can see all courses. He selects the course from which the users will be enrolled. There's also the option either to enrol these users into an existing group or to create a new group if required. He doesn't have to do this, but he chooses to enrol them into a new group. Our teacher then needs to repeat this for the second course – IT Skills. Now let's follow new employee, Danny, who is just about to self-enrol in the Company Welcome course. Once enrolled, when Danny goes to the My Courses page, we can see that Danny has automatically been enrolled into the other two courses. And if we look at the teacher's view of the Participants page, we see that Danny, along with other new employees, has been added to a newly created group. To summarise, with the Course MetaLink Enrollment Method, users in one course may be automatically enrolled into one or more other courses. Users may be added to existing groups or to a newly created group.
