If there’s something that precedes student enrollment, it is registering students on your Moodle site. User Registration is a prerequisite to enrolling them to your courses.

User Registration in Moodle Courses

The default way of adding users to your Moodle site is pretty easy to implement.

You can add users to your Moodle site by going to Site Admin -> Users -> Add a New User.

However, it becomes a tedious task when you’ve to add a big number of users to your Moodle. This is a common scenario in universities, schools, and even online training centers.

This becomes more of a challenge because adding so many users to your Moodle would mean taking out that much time from your priorities. After all, you’ll have to repeat the same process for each and every user you need to add.

Let’s talk in Numbers

Say you have to add 50 students daily to a course and adding a student takes up around 2 minutes each. So in total, you are spending 100 minutes in this activity daily.

That means, in a week, you spend 600 minutes that equals to around 10 hours every week!! Now THAT’S a BIG number!

One argument could be that you have enough people to do it for you. But wouldn’t that mean extra expenses, in addition to wasting time that could be invested in content curation, marketing your courses and so on?   

What If I tell you there’s a way you can do the same a lot more easily and with faster speed? About a solution that is being used by hundreds of Moodle admins, to quicken the process of user registration. About how they’ve been able to save as much as 10 hours every week, by automating user registration on their Moodle.

Here’s how…
