What are Enrollment links?
Enrollment links open up a whole range of possibilities, empowering you to deliver online training anytime, anywhere, and via any platform.
An Enrollment link is a unique URL created for a course that can be sent using a method of your choice. You can send via email, a workplace communication platform like Slack, or even your favorite social media platform.
When a recipient clicks the link, they are sent directly to a sign-up screen where they can sign up for the course. If your learners already have an account and are logged in, they'll be sent directly to the course — no more barriers, just one click, and go!
Why use Enrollment links?
There are many scenarios where you may want to use Enrollment links. Common problems Enrollment links can solve are:
I want to customize the invitation email sent to my learners
If you don't like the standard system email that gets sent to learners when you enroll them into a Course, paste an Enrollment link into a custom email with the branding and messaging that suits your company best.
The courses in my workspace are optional
You can share optional courses with your audience. You might like to use a collection of Enrollment links categorized just the way you want on your company website or intranet.
I don't know who my learners are yet
You may want to include your staff onboarding course in an automated welcome message for new staff members. As you don't need to know the details of new staff in advance, this saves you time and streamlines your processes.
I want to create a teaser course to share on social media
Maybe you're selling your courses online and want to provide a taster course free of charge? Create an Enrollment link and share it. Copy. Paste. Easy!
How do I create an Enrollment link for a Course?
Step 1: Enrollment links are automatically created. You will need to copy it. To copy an Enrollment link, click the Share icon on the Course card.
Step 2: Copy the Enrollment link for the Course by selecting 'Copy' next to 'Enroll with a link'. You can then paste this link in any location for learners to self-enroll in your course.
Expiry settings
By default, Enrollment links never expire. You can however have Enrollment links expire on a set date, or after a set number of learners have been enrolled via the link.
To access these settings, click the settings icon to open the expiry settings panel. Make any necessary changes, and select 'Save changes'.
If a user tries to access an expired Enrollment link, they’ll encounter a message saying that the link is no longer active.
Sharing on third-party platforms
We use the open graph protocol for Enrollment links so that when you share your link on a third-party platform like Slack or Linkedin, it displays a preview of the course.
The course preview includes: Title, image, description, and URL. The preview does vary from platform to platform. This information is automatically pulled from the Course overview screen. Below is a preview of how the course might look if you share it on Slack.
What is the experience for learners?
When a learner clicks an enrollment link, be it from a custom email, your website, or Slack channel, they'll be sent directly to the course.
If they are already logged into a Coassemble account, they'll land on the Course overview page, similar to the image below.
If the learner is not already logged in, they will land on a different page, similar to that below, with login and sign-up options and a view of the course card. The learner can choose to login if they have already created a Coassemble account. If the learner doesn't already have an account, they'll need to take the additional step of signing up.
Group enrollment links
Group enrollment links allow you to share a single link that will automatically enroll the recipient into multiple courses associated with a Group. When a learner accesses a Group enrollment link they are directed to the learner dashboard, instead of directly to a single course.
To access a Group enrollment link, go to the Users tab, then Groups, then select the Group. Click 'Add learner' and you'll be able to copy the Enrollment link for the Group (shown below).
