Moodle enrolments

From now on, I am going to label any stuff we learn about how moodle can work better for us at YSJ with 'learning', that will help us track what we've learnt throughout the initial process. If there is an action associated, I will also use the tag 'action'.

Thinking about enrolments today, we discovered that at the moment, all courses(except those with enrolment keys) are open to anyone with an account in moodle.

This means that Joe Blogs could go to the create an account button, register with moodle then self enrol on any of the courses we have, which aren't protected with an enrolment key.

I can see a lot of benefits to this, but can also see that it might be a massive worry too, for example if someone external registers and then starts to post inappropriate stuff into forums.

I have found a setting in the courses which stops courses being 'enrollable', but it also prevents students who have an enrolment key from enroling as well.

ACTION
As an action from this, we will see if in his integration script, Jim can set all courses to be non-enrollable by default. We can then deal with any exceptions, where tutors request for enrolment to be enabled, on an ad-hoc basis.
