The Open LMS team is working on additional plans for the PLD and we would love to know who do you think would be the main user of the new PLD enrollment action coming in next release. This can help us investigate new layers of permissions and interactions for cross-course rules down the road. e.g. Extra permissions sets and override actions for rules affecting multiple courses.

We have set a couple of use cases as examples, but we are eager to hear from you what other things are you planning to do with his new feature or any other ideas you have for PLD.

PLD enrollment action is coming in Open LMS 3.5 in December

Platform administrators: We want to use enrollment action to create site-wide templates and rules e.g. Create learning plans
4
Managers/Faculty leaders: We want our faculty/department leaders to be able to create enrollment rules that would apply to an entire organizational unit. e.g. create diagnostic quizzes that lead to different enrollment destinations within an unit.
1
Teachers: We want our teachers to be able to manage enrollment dynamically across the courses they manage. e.g. Create diagnostic activity to separate students across different courses based on their previous knowledge.

I don't forsee this being used in our institution at all. We are a higher ed institution and courses are enrolled through the registrar and our SIS, not via moodle. And our professors do not have access to create their own courses. I am not sure how things work in K-12 settings, but this might be more applicable to teachers or administrators there. I would like to see the ability to run a pld action based on the course start date + - days as in my idea in the group.

Our K-12 organization is similar to what Mike described in that enrollments are handled via the SIS. The learning plan idea is interesting.

Things we would like to see in PLD:

Idea #1:

We would like to be able to embed html into the email that we are sending out to our users. These emails are the notifications that are being released from Personalized Learning Designer. The stock options in the PLD are ok, but if a client wanted to add some custom html that option is not available to them like it is with other editing boxes that use the ATTO or TinyMCE editors.

Idea #2:

The following Data Triggers:

Under Conditions Tab:

Actions to be triggered off of due date field of assignment
Actions to be triggered off of submission date field of assignment

Under Actions Tab:

Send Email Action -

Pull Due Date under Activity Token
Pull Submission Date under Activity Token
Pull Date Graded under Activity Grade Token

And YES to Mike's idea of the ability to run a pld action based on the course start date + - days as in my idea in the group.

I think it's a very useful and much appreciated function within the learners ecosystem.
It's a great development, what could be build out even more.

What about if you get the possibility of a data driven PLD.

For example: You have a formative assessment with 4 categories of questions which are separately graded. Results show that 3 of the categories are mastered, but 1 not. PLD guides you to a learning module/learning path which only focusses on that 1 categorie.

I know it takes a very modular approach of you education, but it will help students and staff concentrate much more on what's needed for that student. The institute will benefiet from this personalized learning experience, and also improve learners efficiency.

Besides that, I think the corporate market would also be very interested.

Hi Pablo,

The 3.5 release was applied to our sandbox site, but I don't see the enroll user in course action in the PLD. Below is a screenshot of what I'm seeing:

Am I missing something? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi Anna,

Had the same question myself. It looks like you have to go to Site Admin > Plugins > Enrollments > Manage enroll plugins and turn on PLD enrolment.

Hope that helps!

It would be nice to have the ability to add external hyperlinks in the enrollment option. We have external links that we would like the student to follow (re: calendars, website, etc) upon enrollment.

Hi Stephanie, You should be able to add external links as a URL by adding an action to email the user.
