Introduction

This involves adding the Invite User block to a course, creating the CSV file containing the users for importing, and then importing the users into the course.

Required CSV file format

The CSV file that needs to be created should follow the formatting in the table below, where the first row should be the header for each column and each following row is user information.


Please note: there is a sample CSV file available for download on the Import submit form page.

 

lastnamefirstnameemail
AbbotJeanjean.abbot@example.com
DoylePaulpaul.doyle@example.com

 

Once the CSV has been created, it will need to be imported. This will create users if they don’t already exist on the site and enrol them automatically into the course.
