Registration

Before publishing your exercise, make sure to configure your registration settings. This ensures:

  • Your registration type matches the scope of the exercise

  • The right person is set as Facilitator (this isn't a Facilitator in the traditional sense, but the person who can access all the participant data)

  • Your participants are set up in the Teams table (if necessary)

How to

In Configuration in the Editor, you can tweak the registration settings for your self-paced exercise:

Registration type

There are many registration types to choose from, but the most popular are:

  • Click to play

  • Email registration

This is because they are both simple to set up and to use.

Click to play

If you have hundreds to thousands of participants (which is likely for a self-paced exercise) Click to play is the easiest registration type for your exercise.

With this registration type, participants will be given a randomly generated email address when they log in to the exercise. This doesn't necessarily matter within the exercise, but if you're looking to export results at the end of the exercise, it can prove difficult to identify specific participants. To get around this, make sure to ask your participants for their name and/or email address via an open-text box question at some point in the exercise.

Email registration

If you have less participants and you're looking to easily track your participants in the reporting phase of an exercise, we recommend setting your registration type to Email registration. This can also make logging in to the exercise smooth for participants, especially if they're revisiting the exercise multiple times.

If you use this registration type, you'll need to set up your participants in the Teams table. If you don't, participants will need to click Register before the exercise and set up their own accounts. Doing it for them beforehand makes accessing the exercise much easier and faster.
