Students need to be “mapped” from Portico into Moodle. We use an enrollment block to do this. The advantage of using Portico mapping, rather than any other method, to enrol students onto your module is that Moodle and Portico sync on a nightly basis, so any students who enrol/unenrol will henceforth be automatically updated. This method is recommended for all taught modules in A&H.

The above screenshot illustrates a module where the mapping is not active.

1. Turn Editing On in the module. Scroll down to the Portico enrollments block on the right hand side.
2. Click View/Activate Mappings.
3. If no cohort information is present, click the little “add mapping” words to bring up a search box. Put your module code in the Search box and select your cohort.
4. Check the mapping/s on screen contain the correct cohorts for this module. You do not need to check the additional boxes next to the cohort around pre-enrollment and group mappings.
5. Tick Activate Mappings and (crucially!) select Save mappings.
6. Once Moodle syncs with Portico overnight, your students will all be enrolled.
