Allowing Self-Registration

Use self-registration to allow users to choose which learning activities they want to take. Depending on what additional optional features have been configured, users may be required to have specific prerequisites before they can take a course, and/or may be prompted for registration options and pricing.

Self-registration can be used alone or in conjunction with the function that allows users to create their own accounts.
Give Me An Example

If you do not allow users to create their own accounts, self-registration is simply used to allow some learning content to be available to those who choose to take it.

If you allow users to create their own accounts, you have in effect a self-directed learning environment where users choose first to participate at all in training, and then register for learning activities.

Self-registration allows users to choose the learning activities they wish to participate in. It is often used in conjunction with allowing users to create their own accounts. For learning activities open to self-registration, you may choose to add registration options.

Choose the appropriate client or your own organization.

Open the learning activity's details screen.

Note: If this learning activity is already available to users, it will appear to the user twice: once in their training plan (because they have access to it) and once in their course library or upcoming events list (because it is available for self-registration). However, the user cannot register for an activity that is already part of their plan and will be notified of this if they attempt to self register for an activity that is already part of their plan.

Click Edit (below the activity name).

From the Edit menu, choose Self Registration.
You see the Self-Registration screen.

Click Yes, allow students to self-register.

Optionally, choose a date range during which self-registration is allowed.

If a waiver has been uploaded to your system, and you want it presented to self-registering users, check Present waiver when registering.

Note: The Registration page URL provided at the bottom of the page can be sent to users in an email message you use to invite them to register for the activity. When users click that URL, it will take them into the registration process for this activity. They will be required to login to the system in order to complete the registration process.
You can configure the system to permit users without accounts to create their account.

Optionally, configure registration options (which may or may not include pricing).
