Enrollables

Enrollables are items within a system that can be signed up for or added to a user’s account through an enrollment process. The term emphasizes the action of enrolling and the capability of the item to be included in a learner’s or member’s portfolio, rather than merely being accessed. In education technology and training platforms, enrollables commonly include courses, modules, workshops, micro-credentials, and certificate programs. Characteristics often tracked for enrollables include availability windows, capacity limits, prerequisites, cost or credit value, and enrollment status (open, closed, waitlisted). The enrollment flow typically involves selecting an item, confirming prerequisites, choosing options (such as session or cohort), and processing enrollment.

In data modeling and software design, enrollables are modeled as resources or entities that support enrollment operations. They are linked to user accounts via enrollment records and can support actions such as enroll, drop, transfer, or renew. Systems may enforce constraints such as maximum capacity, prerequisite checks, or date ranges. Enrollables may be grouped into learning paths or programs and tracked for completion and earned credits. The concept is often implemented in learning management systems, event registration platforms, and membership or subscription portals, where users actively choose which items to join and how they fit into their broader goals.

Examples include a university LMS where a course is an enrollable item, a corporate training portal offering modules, and an event platform listing workshops that attendees can enroll in. Related concepts include enrollment, courses, micro-credentials, learning management systems, programs, and waitlists.
