Finding out who has self registered in a Moodle site (Update)

Moodle 2.2+  Is there a work around to have someone keep up with new site self registrations?

This tracker item from Moodle 1.6 says this has been done in some form: http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-3305 but I cannot recall ever having had this functionality.

I know there is this discussion, but it is years old: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=33338

I know there is a hack here: http://docs.moodle.org/22/en/Administration_hacks#Send_a_duplicate_of_the_registration_email_to_the_administrator

Options I can think of:

  • Create a cohort, and add everyone to it.  By definition, people not in the cohort must be new.
  • Create a pathway where once a person has signed up they have only ONE thing they can do, which is join a particular course.  Then go in and watch the course.
  • ??  There may be something sneaky or subtle I have not thought of.
This is of course related to the functonaility of having some notification to a teacher when a new student 1) visits for the first time 2) joins a course.

Hi Derek,

Maybe you could enable an "Introduce yourself" forum. Or you could also do an SQL query to get all users registered from some date forward.
