Finding and enrolling in courses
The course catalogue
Click Catalogue in the top bar (course catalogue). The courses are organised in categories:
| Category | Examples of courses |
|---|---|
| GIS and geospatial skills | GIS for Sustainable Urban Planning (UACEG); Remote Sensing and Vegetation Monitoring (Palacký University Olomouc) |
| Green and sustainability skills | Green Skills for Civil Engineers (University of Niš); green-skills modules of the project |
| Digital foundations | Digital Foundations for Higher Education |
| Open Educational Resources | Open Educational Resources – CloudLearnHub catalogue (Resource hub, open to guests) |
| GIS and Green Skills Lab | GIS and Green Skills Lab – cloud services (Labs) |
- Click a category to see its courses, or use Search courses at the top of the catalogue (search by a word from the course name or description, for example GIS, NDVI or energy).
- Each course shows its name, teachers, a short description and icons for the enrolment methods (for example a key icon for a course with an enrolment key, a person icon for guest access).
- Click the course name to open the enrolment page or the course itself.
Ways to get into a course
| Method | What you do |
|---|---|
| Self enrolment | You click Enrol me yourself. |
| Self enrolment with a key | You enter the Enrolment key you received from the teacher and click Enrol me. |
| Enrolment by the teacher | The teacher enrols you (individually or your whole institution group). The course simply appears on your Dashboard. |
| Guest access | You can read the course without enrolling (Resource hub, Help). You cannot take part in activities. |
Self enrolment step by step
- Open the course from the catalogue. If you are not yet enrolled, the page Enrolment options appears with the course description.
- If a field Enrolment key is shown, type the key exactly as you received it (it is case-sensitive). Click the eye icon to check what you typed.
- Click Enrol me.
- The course page opens and the course appears on your Dashboard and under My courses.
Note: The enrolment key is given by the teacher – usually in the first class, by e-mail from the university or in the university's information system. Do not share the key with people outside the course.
Tip: If a course says You cannot enrol yourself in this course, self enrolment is switched off or the enrolment period has ended. Write to the teacher; they can enrol you manually.
Leaving a course
If you enrolled yourself, you can also leave the course: open the course, then More (or the course menu) › Unenrol me from this course, and confirm. If the teacher enrolled you, only the teacher can remove you.
Note: When you unenrol, your submissions, forum posts and grades in the course may be removed or become invisible to you. Unenrol only if you are sure, and download your work before that.
Pilot courses and institutions
During the pilot phase (WP3) each partner university runs its own pilot courses. Your teacher will tell you which courses you should enrol in. You can also enrol in courses of the other partner universities if self enrolment is open – this is a good opportunity for international exchange, but check the language of instruction and the workload first.
