Moodle auto-enrollment techniques
To clarify the question, we’re looking for ways that large Moodle installations get their class roster data into Moodle in as close to real-time as possible. Answers could include links to discussions of this topic or documentation specific to this.

I’ll give the example we use over at the Grad School of Ed. It may not be the most efficient but it gets the job done. We are looking into LDAP Enrollment to see if it will actually make things easier.
We obtain course information from the Registrars office and from that we import them into their courses via the “”http://docs.moodle.org/en/Upload_users">Upload Users."
