Enrollment Questions

Enrollment questions allow an administrator to add questions that can be answered by the learner at the time of enrollment. These can be downloaded in a CSV file or used for custom reports or added to certificates. Each response from a learner is only associated with that user’s enrollment in that course. 

Enrollment questions are useful for collecting data specific to an enrollment. For example, 

  • "Will you be attending the reception?" 

  • "If so, are you bringing a guest?" 

  • "Please enter the guest's name."

  • "What is your age at the time of registration?"

  • "Please enter your years of experience."

In EthosCE, enrollment questions are a reusable group of reusable questions called "enrollment types" or also "enrollment bundles." They are named such because the enrollment type is a "bundle" of questions.

Each enrollment type bundle can be used for one or more courses. If possible, try to use your enrollment type bundles for multiple courses to limit the number of bundles created. This will make your installation of EthosCE easier to manage. We do not recommend using enrollment questions that are unique per course.

Enrollment questions are supported on course relationships only when the enrollment setting is set to “User may only enroll in parent."
