Invitation Enrolment Moodle Plugin

The Invitation enrollment plug-in for Moodle LMS allows instructors to invite students to their course and site, and grant necessary access and role to them. The invitation is sent via email and contains a link with an unique, one-time use invitation token.

When the user clicks on the link and logs into the site, (s)he is automatically enrolled into the course and the invitation link is marked as used.

Features

The benefits of using this plug-in over an enrollment key are:

  • You can control who can use the invitation.
  • You can include a personalized message in the invitation.
  • You can see a history of past invitations and their status.
  • You can also see who used an invitation or which ones are expired.
  • You can resend expired invitations or send reminder invitations.
  • You can revoke the invitation if has not yet been accepted.
  • You can invite users who do not yet have an account. However, they will need to create an account before they can accept the invitation.
  • You can limit invitations to users with existing accounts.
  • You can limit the lifespan of the invitation (e.g. 2 weeks)

Support

Invitation enrolment is a contributed plugin. You are welcome to submit Pull Requests on Github and to report issues. However, free support is not guaranteed.

    Hi Andy, try the Discussion link and post your question there. If it turns out to be a bug, use the Bug Tracker link. Both places allow you to include screenshots.

    Hi Michael, it turns out that it is ok. It's just the icon used is not ideal as all you can see is a slightly square box with a green plus sign at the top of the square, just like you have above. In reality on 2 different themes, you cant see the envelope, therefore, leaving a slight confusion to the user as they click on the add sign on the icon expecting action and not realising it's the icon to show the enrolment for that course. Can I suggest maybe changing the icon, to a mail send icon instead, which might display better on themes, etc? Not a big deal and thanks for getting back to me quickly. Always nice to help with feedback. Great work, and really nice plugin. Andy

    Hi guys might be a silly question, if someone rejects the enrolment on the invitation this will appear on the invitation history as "no longer has access". How do we delete that history? otherwise, if this reject in the email has been accidentally pressed and this reject has been accepted when user logs in, there is no way of overturning it. Does this mean the user is banned from accessing this forever as this is linked to his/her email rather than a registered user?. To work around this i have deleted the HTML from the email template with regards to reject link, problem is i cant use that user email unless there is another way or erasing that history.

    Any thoughts guys or am i missing something? I love the plugin, just feel that admins should be able to erase that history if needed.

    Kind Regards
    Andy

    Hi. Thank you for the plugin. Would you please guide me on how to enroll the student in the correct group? I let the non-editing teacher invite users and the user accepted the invitation but there was no group info. The non-editing teacher doesn't see the student in his group. Also, the teacher is able to see all invitations. Can we prevent that? Thank you.

    Hello

    we have the problem that more than 50% of the invited participants do not receive the emails.

    It seems that most of the problems occur with Gmail recipients - but also some others.

    Has anyone (had) the same problem?

    I would appreciate any advice.

    New users will still need to create an account to register on the site. However, once they do that using the link in the email, they will automatically be enrolled in the course.

    If you are not seeing the option on the login page to create a new account, that option may need to be enabled on your site.

    Is there a way to implement user access without creating an account? I mean, the invited users already have their user information within the course ( in participants) and invitation is sent to their email addresses. And each invitation contains a unique link. It would be great if user could just click the unique link and access the course. Since this unique link is created for spesific email address, there could be a matching in background without asking user to create an account. And this makes training process easier. Because users are already not willing to get trainings and when there is one additional step (like creating account) between user and training , users become more resistant.

    Hi Boris,

    There is a way for sure. Just make your course available to guests and have them automatically login as guest. This functionality is all built into Moodle.

    Then simply email them a link to the course. They won't need to login at all and no extra plugins required.

    This will have some limitations though. Since they won't have an account, there will be no way to track their course progress or completion. Some activities, like a quiz require you to be logged in so those won't work either.

    Hope you find this helpful.

    Best regards,

    Michael

    Hi Mohammad,

    It is hard to guess at why the user did not receive the email. You might want to take a look at an article that I wrote last month on the subject. See https://www.elearningworld.org/moodle-lms-email-deliverability-in-2024-best-practices-authentication-standards-and-troubleshooting/

    You can also contact me directly for premium support.

    Best regards,

    Michael
