Moodle 2.0

Configuring Your Site
Instances / enrolments
The number for Instances tells you how many courses have this enrolment method
assigned to them. In the preceding screenshot, you can see that only one course has
the first three enrolment methods assigned to it. However, just because a course has
an enrollment method added to the course, this doesn't necessarily mean that course
is using that enrolment method. For example, the Scientific Method course has three
enrolment methods assigned to it, as shown in the following screenshot:
Notice that although Guest access and Self enrolment are assigned to this course,
they are not available. That is, they are not being used. The teacher or administrator
would need to enable those enrolment methods for this course.
Note that self enrolment is not the same as self registration. Self
registration enables a person to join your site. Self registration
enables a person who has joined your site, to enroll in a course.
Remember that when we configured our site, we turned off guest access and self
registration for the site. That is why these methods are disabled in this course. They
can be enabled for just this course, but that will not change the settings for the rest of
the site.
