Adding Users
You will on occasion need to ‘add tutors’ to your wattle site; you should rarely ‘add students’.
Students can access your course wattle site the day after their enrolment is finalised in ISIS (the student system); assuming that wattle access has been given to the student population. If you do need to add a student to your Wattle site, it is recommended that you keep records of any students that you add and at a later date ensure that their official enrolment has been finalised, or limit the period of access.
Steps for Adding Users – ‘tutor’ ‘student’ ‘guest lecturer’
Navigate via Administration - Course administration - Users to the drop down menu
Click on 'Enrolled users'; then on the upper right hand side of the next screen, click ‘Enrol users’ button. In the small screen that appears
Change 'Assign roles' to student/tutor
Type id or name into ‘Search’ field
Hit ‘Search’
When the correct person appears click the 'Enrol' tab - and the detail will shift to the right slightly
Click 'Finish enrolling users' tab
If you wish to limit their enrolment to a particular timeframe, click on Enrolment Options.
You will be presented with options for limiting the enrolment of a person as a user.
Two new categories of wattle users were introduced in mid - 2013 – ‘Guest Lecturer’ and ‘Auditing Student’.
The ‘Auditing student’ category gives limited access to the wattle course site.
Adding “Audit” students
Students who are ‘trialling a course’ or students that the lecturer has agreed to let ‘audit’ should be enrolled through the Administration – Course administration - Users - Other Users option.
Click ‘Assign roles’;
Type the surname of the student or their id in the search field of the search box then hit ‘enter’ on your keyboard;
Click on Auditing Student ‘once’; close the search box;
Wait for a few seconds and the student should appear in the list.
If the student subsequently enrols in the course, they will automatically appear in the User and in the Participant list with both the auditing student/student label against their name. The auditing student label can then be deleted.
