June 19, 2026 Online Registration Training for PLATO Coordinators

The 2025 Member Survey asked how PLATO could improve member support. The top responses identified a need to implement an online course registration process and to eliminate the need to contact individual course coordinators to register for courses.  After exploring options, the Curriculum Committee agreed to use Wild Apricot – the host software for PLATO’s website and Member database to host the Course Catalog and provide Online Registration. 

There is no additional fee to host the Curriculum Course Catalog and our members will be familiar with the look and feel as it is using the same functionality as the PLATO Special Events calendar. 

What you will learn in this session:

• What is Open Registration
• What are Coordinator Reserved Seats
• Does the system provide for Waitlist functionality
• How will I be notified when someone registers?
• Does the system provide a class roster?

Prior to the session you will be sent a link to a demo area where you can try out the new system.
