This guide explains how to add members to a course manually and how to enable learner-driven course joining or enrolment.

As a Course Administrator, you can add members to a course by adding users manually. You can also allow learners to join the course directly or submit an enrolment request.

Add members to a course manually

  1. Open the course and go to Settings.
  2. Select Members from the left-hand menu.
  3. You can add members individually or by group:
    • In the Members view, click Add members. Select one or more users you want to add to the course.
      Use the Search function if needed.
    • In the Groups view, click Add Groups. Select one or more groups you want to add to the course.
    • In both views, you can select Send an email notification to users about joining the course if you want users to receive an email immediately after being added.
  4. After selecting users or groups, Priima displays either an Adding x users button or an Adding x groups button, where x represents the number of selected users or groups. Click the button to confirm your selection. Priima then adds the selected users or groups to the course.
