Courses List

The Courses list gives you a possibility to view a full list of all currently registered courses. A user logged in as Student can enroll into courses published by other users. As soon as the Student has enrolled into any course, the Already subscribed icon ( apply icon ) will be displayed next to a corresponding entry in the list.

The Courses list displays the following data for every course:

Course Name - a concise description of a course;
Category - a group to which a course relates (for example, Dentistry education or Language courses);
Fee type - payment basis of a course: Free or Paid.

Tip: To provide better viewing representation, you can sort out the list of courses using the filter at the top of the page.

From the Filter list select the owner criterion: All courses, My courses, Not my courses;
From the Course categories list select a category to which courses should relate;
In the Display field specify the number of entries to be displayed per page. As soon as you have selected necessary values, the list will be sorted by the specified criteria.

Enrolling into Courses

A Student, who desires to attend some course, needs to be enrolled into it. Depending on the course settings, enrolling into courses can be performed in two ways:

By the Student him-/herself. If the Self registration option is enabled for a course, the Student will be able to register him/herself without addressing the Teacher. Such courses have a check box next to them.
By the Teacher administrating a corresponding course. If the Self registration option is disabled for a course, a user will need to send an email to the course Teacher, who will have to decide whether to enroll the Student to a course or not. Such courses are marked with an email icon ()) instead of a check box.
