Enrollment Overview
Enrollment in Skyllful is how administrators connect learners to their assigned training, either by adding learners to an assignment manually or by letting them self-enroll through an Auto-Enrollment link or QR code.
What are the two ways to enroll learners?
Skyllful gives you two enrollment methods, and you can use both in the same Learning Program.
| Enrollment method | How it works | Best when |
|---|---|---|
| Manual enrollment | You add specific learners to an assignment yourself, individually or in bulk. | You have a known, fixed group and want to control exactly who is enrolled. [LINK TO: Assignments] |
| Auto-Enrollment | You share a link or QR code, and learners enroll themselves in the assignments you attach to it. | You have a large, changing, or field-based audience, or you want ongoing self-service enrollment. [LINK TO: Auto-Enrollment: Quick Start] |
How do you decide which method to use?
Choose manual enrollment when the roster is small and stable and you want to place each learner yourself. Choose Auto-Enrollment when the audience is large, distributed, or still growing, since a single link or QR code can reach unlimited learners and stays active until you turn it off. Many programs use both: manual enrollment for a core group, and an Auto-Enrollment link for everyone who joins later.
What is Auto-Enrollment?
Auto-Enrollment lets learners self-enroll through a custom URL or QR code that you create and distribute. It removes the need to import learners into each assignment by hand. One important point: Auto-Enrollment assigns training to learners, but it does not create the learners themselves. The people you are enrolling must already exist in Skyllful, unless your organization uses Auto-Provisioning with SSO authentication. To add learners first, see [LINK TO: Add a User] and [LINK TO: Bulk Import and Export Users].
