In addition to users being able to complete courses on their own, you can upload user enrollments and completions. This is especially helpful when you want to give credit for something like an in-person training but don’t need your users to complete activities in the Edified system. I will show an example of enrolling users and giving them completion credit using the courses I created in the article Create courses with a CSV.
First, I will create my CSV form. When creating this, you want to include user name, first and last names, and emails. When uploading this data, you can attach it to existing users or create users who are not in the system yet. The “auth” column specifies the type of account your users have. Most schools and districts use either Google or Microsoft single-sign-on and will put “oath2” for each user, like in my example. For enrollment, include the short name of the course in the “course1” column. If you want to enroll a user in multiple courses, you will have multiple rows for them with different course names. Be sure to also include the role of “student” for each user in the “role1” column. You can also use this column to assign different roles if necessary. If you want to show that users have completed courses, include the “coursecompleted1” and “coursecompleteddate1” columns. You can find an example CSV here.
Once you have your CSV ready to go, you’re ready to upload. Go to Site administration and click on the Users tab. Then click the link for Upload users. This is where you will go to upload new users and to update user data, as we’re doing here.
Drag in your CSV file and click Upload users.
On the next screen, check and make sure everything looks good in your preview. In the settings, be sure you choose “Add new and update existing users” as the Upload type if you are including completion data for any existing users.
If everything looks good, click Upload users at the bottom of the screen.
You can check the Course activity report to see your user completion.
