6 Registrations 1. All learners who are currently enrolled in the course are listed on the Registrations screen. Note that some of these learners may not be enrolled in a session yet. 2. Selecting a learner will allow you to set all checked learners to unenrolled. This unenrolls them from the course, which will unenroll them from the session as well. 3. Add Learners will allow you to register an existing learner into this course. Please note that you cannot actually create learners via the app. 4. To find a learner to be added you can use as many of the search fields as you like. The search fields are non-case-sensitive but they do require an exact match, i.e. searching for "learn" in the username field will not find the username learner. 5. Once a learner has been found you can select them to register them for the course. Click learningexchange@vanderbilt.edu to for additional support. Page 6
