Enrol learners to courses

Let’s see how to enrol learners to a blended course with classes in it:

1.   Select the course and click the Configure button.

2.   In the step of class management, select a class and then click Enrol learners.

3.   Click Enrol learners and then click Add learner.

4.   In the Address book window, select users or Microsoft Entra groups.

5.   When finishing the learner enrolment, click Add to add learners to the course.

Let’s see how to enrol learners to a blended course without classes or to a self-paced course:

1.   Select the course and click the Configure button.

2.   In the step of learner enrolment, click Enrol learners.

3.   In the Address book window, select users or Microsoft Entra groups.

4.   When finishing the learner enrolment, click Add.

*Note: When a Microsoft Entra group is enrolled to a course, all existing group members and newly added group members will be enrolled to the course. Once the course is overdue, Curricula for Corporate Learning will stop syncing Microsoft Entra group members to that course, so that users newly added to the Microsoft Entra group will not be enrolled to the overdue course. If the end time of the course is extended later, Curricula for Corporate Learning will sync the user updates during the time period.

What if the programme admin wants to reuse an existing course?

The organisation provides recurrence courses for different batch of learners. They want to reuse the content of an existing course, so they don’t need to repeat the configurations of classes, sessions, learning paths, etc.

Now let’s see how to duplicate a course in Curricula.

1.   Selects a course and click Duplicate.

2.   In the Duplicate course panel, you can see that the new course will use the same course code and the suffix - Copy is added to the course name. The course name can be modified.

3.   For a blended course, you need to select the start time and end time for the course. For a self-paced course, you can select the end time.

4.   Click Save and edit it now to procced to edit the course information.
