Creating student users for a limited free trial course

Hi,

I need to create users for a limited free trial course. I tried using the interface, and I can't see if what I am doing works. I do not see the new student user in the list of existing users. Also, is there a bulk upload facility - I have hundreds of students to create.

Thanks

Regards,

Andre

Check out the following discussion on the WeBWorK wiki.

http://webwork.maa.org/wiki/Classlist_Files

There is a CSV-like file format that you can use to export a spreadsheet of information about students and it automatically creates the corresponding students when you import the .lst file into the course.

Be sure to note from that discussion that the password is set to use the student_id unless you take extra time to generate crypted forms of other assigned passwords. Students can (and probably should) change the password after they login.

If you need more than this, feel free to ask a follow-up.
