Program updates in Moodle Workplace 5.0 introduce a range of fresh improvements that enhance the flexibility of how learning is structured, delivered, and accessed. These updates empower organisations to design learning programs that better align with their operational needs, providing more control over enrolment methods, scheduling, and learner pathways. With a more intuitive interface and enhanced configuration options, administrators can create tailored learning experiences that support workforce development more effectively than ever before.
Add Programs to the Catalogue
Programs can now be listed directly in the course catalogue — giving users a clearer path to structured learning and helping organisations promote programs more effectively.
To display a program, simply associate it with a category and enable visibility in the catalogue.
Enable Self-Allocation
With self-allocation, users can enrol themselves in Programs — either for free or via a supported payment method like PayPal. This feature streamlines the enrolment process by removing administrative barriers and empowering learners to take charge of their own development. Whether it’s for onboarding, compliance, or optional upskilling opportunities, self-allocation makes access to learning more immediate and flexible. Organisations can use this functionality to promote self-directed learning, reduce enrolment overhead, and increase engagement by offering learners the freedom to join programs that suit their goals and schedules.
Whether you’re offering mandatory training or optional skill development, these new enrolment options help your learners get started with less admin and more autonomy.
Try it out…
Add one of your existing Programs to a relevant category, make it visible in the course catalogue, and enable self-allocation to let learners explore and enrol themselves at their convenience. This simple setup allows you to showcase learning opportunities in a structured, searchable way—ideal for onboarding, compliance training, or optional professional development. By categorising your Programs and promoting them through the catalogue, you not only increase visibility but also encourage self-directed engagement.
