How to generate a QR code for squad self-enrolment

Let learners join a deployment by scanning a code. No link needed.

This is an admin only feature.

What is QR code self-enrolment?

iluminr gives you two ways to share access to the deployment: a copy-paste link and a QR code. Self-enrolment is on by default for Multiplayer Microsimulations and off by default for single player.

Both options add learners to the same squad. The same rules apply to both: links and codes don't expire, and no approval step is required before a learner joins.

How do I generate a QR code?

  1. In the left navigation, expand Microsimulations and select Deployments.
  2. Click into an existing deployment, or click + New Deployment.
  3. Click Self-Enrol to open the self-enrolment pop-up.
  4. Click Enable Self-Enrolment if not already enabled.
  5. Click the QR Code tab.
  6. Click Download to save the QR code as an image.

Share the downloaded image however works best — print it, paste it into a deck, or display it on screen.

How do learners the QR code?

Learners scan the QR code with their phone camera or a scanner app. This opens the self-enrolment form in their browser. They enter their first name, last name, and email address, then click Enrol. They're added to the deployment and receive access to their Learnspace.

QR code vs. link — when to use which

Situation Use
Sharing via email or chat Copy link
Embedding in a document or LMS Copy link
Printed materials or posters QR code
Slide decks or in-room displays during a session QR code

This QR code comes from the Self-Enrol dialog. To open it, go to the deployment's Enrolments page and select Self enrol. The dialog shows the link with a Copy button, the QR code, and Copy QR and Save QR. People who enrol get an email with their own Learnspace access. Participants can use the link or QR code to join a Multiplayer Microsimulation. There is no squad-level self-enrolment switch to turn on first.
