Participants Page

The Participants page enables teachers to easily enroll, view, search for, filter, edit and delete course participants.  This page can be accessed from the navigation drawer if you’re using the Boost theme or through the Administration block in other themes. (It can also be accessed from the More link in the gear menu, by clicking Enrolled users in the Users tab.)

The participants page is a space where you can view your roster, contact users, and more.  It has been combined with the Enrolled Users page which used to be a separate space you needed to click into in order to actually manually enroll a user into a course.  Combining these two spaces save instructors a step, which saves them time.

How to enroll a user

From your participants page, click the button to Enroll Users.

 

 

From here, a screen will pop up where you can search for a user's name, define the role you wish to apply, and then when finished click to save your changes. 

 

 

Viewing and Filtering Participants

From your participants page you can also view an overall look at your roster and then filter your view so that you can capture a glance at just a sub-set of your course if need be.  The filter (located at the top left of the screen) allows for filtering by multiple conditions such as keyword, status, role, enrollment method, and group. 

 

 

Modifying a Role

From the participants page you can modify or add a role to anyone enrolled in your course.  

  • To assign an enrolled user a role, click the pencil icon in the Roles column then select the desired role and click the save icon to confirm the change.

  • To remove a role assignment, click the delete icon (a cross) next to the role name.

Please note that only roles which can be assigned in the course context type are available to select, and only roles which your role is allowed to assign are available for you to select.

Groups

If you're created at least one group previously within your course, you'll be able to add users to groups directly from your participants page.  To add a user to a group, click the pencil icon in the Groups column, select the group and then click the save icon to confirm the change.

 


Bulk Editing and Deleting Users

Course participants may be selected in the boxes on the left and then, from the menu at the bottom, edited or deleted in bulk.

 

Mastering the changes to your participants page will help you to make quick progress when working with the users enrolled in your course.
