   Julian,
   Thanks for this post. I learnt this technique from the workshop I did with you and I have to say it has solved many of the problems we were experiencing. I am now starting to put this into practice on the new courses we are creating at PLC and it works a treat.

   One question… where do I edit the screen that asks for an enrolment key with the information that students can read to know what keys to use. I remember seeing it on your Moodle pages, but can’t seem to find where you set it. You know the page? the one that gives them the info about what keys to use.

   It was in the video

   The page is in the administration bloc, click on “Languages” and then you can edit the language packs. This is outlined towards the end of the video walkthrough.

   Hi Julian

   Been using ‘groups’ as well & found them useful but as always Moodle is full of handy extra tips and bits you pointed out - informative and useful post, thanks.

   I noticed you admin a Moodle users course in edna (what does AIS stand for?). I am toying with the idea of starting a similar thing locally (WA) as the popularity of Moodle is growing among teachers here but there is no focal point, just a few of us Moodle afficionados and ‘pushers’.

   Would you mind if I direct our members to Playpen and a few other useful material you publish? I dislike reinventing the wheel and your work is up there on top for quality and ease

   I noticed the AIS group is open for enrolment (no key). Do you intend to keep it that way (ie we could collaborate pretty easily)? Maybe we could get some other ‘cross-polination’ of the groups?

   Keep up the good work !
   Cheers

   Hi there. Excellent video! Question: Is it possible to create unique keys per user? What I mean by this is to generate 100 unique, one-time use only keys that can then be distributed to 100 students. They login using their individual key — the key can no longer be used by anyone else. I don’t need any grouping or anything… I just need them to enroll using their unique key so that they can’t give the key to their friends and such. Does such Moodle functionality exist, or are there any plugins? Thanks so much in advance!

   @Me Sadly there is no way of doing individual keys.
