Learners and places

Adding learners, approvals, due dates and access end, importing, removing and giving access back, sign-in links and a learner's page.

A learner is a person with a learner account at your business. A place is that learner on one course, with their progress.

Adding learners

On a course's Learners tab, click Add learners and type email addresses, one a line (Asha Rao <asha@example.com> or just the email). Choose Finish by if you like, and keep Email each one a sign-in link ticked. New people get a free learner account.
Import CSV (Course managers and Admins): one person a line, name,email,due date (the date as YYYY-MM-DD, optional).
People can also join from the course page, buy a place, get one from a learning path, or from Staff training.
Groups (Professional and up): put learners of a course in a group, such as a class or an intake, when you add them.

Asking to join

When a course is set to People ask to join (you approve), requests show first on the course's Learners tab, under Asking. Approve gives the place; Refuse sends them an email.

A place's dates

Use ... > Due date / access end on a learner's row:

Finish by - the due date. Late places show the date in red.
Access ends - after this date the place ends. A course's Settings > Rules > Access for (days) sets it for everyone who joins (Standard and up).

Other actions on a learner's row

Send a sign-in link.
Give the certificate - when a finished learner has none yet.
Remove from the course - ends the place; their progress is kept if you add them back. Give access back opens it again.
Put on an email list (top of the tab, with Ellibo Email Marketing): everyone, only those who finished, or only those still learning.

A learner's page

Click a learner's name: their courses and progress, certificates (with Withdraw), badges and points (with Give a badge), and orders. At the top: Send a sign-in link, Edit (name and phone) and Block (they are signed out and can't sign in). The email is how they sign in, so it isn't changed here.

How learners are counted

Your plan covers a number of learners: people with a place on any course (learning, finished, asking or invited). Someone on several courses counts once.
