How to Add Learners to Classroom Manually
If you want to add a few learners to your classroom, you can do it manually by following these steps:
Step 1: Once you’ve created a classroom, you’ll be prompted to add users. Click Add Users.
Step 2: In the Add Users dialog,
1. Enter the name, email/ID, and password (optional) of the user.
2. Click the plus icon (+) to add multiple users.
3. Select the group in which you wish to add the user
4. Select the course to assign
5. Click Done
How to Auto-Enroll Learners Using API
If you have large groups of learners to train, enrolling them via API is ideal. With the help of API, you can auto-register users to the classroom on the fly without even logging into ProProfs. You need to simply call our API with learners’ details, such as their email/ID, name, password, group details, etc., and learners will automatically register to your classroom.
Read ProProfs REST API Guide (Register New User In Classroom), which contains the technical documentation and example files.
To begin the process, you need the API key, which you can find on your Account page, as shown in the image below. Navigate to the User Icon in the top-right corner > click My Account.
How to Add Learners Without an Email
ProProfs online classroom helps you manage learners by adding them as users or into groups using their email addresses.
However, in some cases, learners may not have email addresses. For example, in retail organizations where employee turnover is high or in educational institutions where students use IDs instead of emails.
To tackle such cases, ProProfs allows you to add users to your classroom even if they do not have email addresses.
You can easily create user accounts for learners without email addresses. In such cases, learners log in using a username and password. The username can be anything relevant to the scenario, such as an ID, roll number, student ID, employee ID, or even the student’s name.
Follow the steps below to add users to classrooms with their IDs:
Step 1: Go to users in the classroom and then click "New User."
Step 2: In the Add Users dialog, enter the desired IDs of the learners you want to add. If you have more than one ID, separate them with a comma. Alternatively, you can bulk import user details from an Excel file.
Continue the steps of assigning courses and groups to the new learners, as explained earlier.
How to Set an Expiry Date for a Learner Account in the Classroom
With ProProfs Training Maker, you can easily set user accounts to expire after a specific date. This helps improve security and manage limited-time access. Follow these methods to set expiry dates:
Method 1: Upload Expiration Dates for Users during Bulk Upload
- When uploading user details to a CSV/Excel file, include expiration dates.
Method 2: Change the Expiration Date in User's Classroom Profile
1. Access your classroom and click on "Users."
2. Search for the user and click on the name to edit.
3. Click "Show More" in the user's profile.
4. Scroll down to the "Expiration Date" section, select "Expires on the date" from the dropdown, and click "Apply."
