Open registration

BarnabasGulyas

Hey there!

My name is Barnabás and I am seeking help with editing a course to be accessible without registration on the platform. I have a free user account, and as the course would also target young people it would be ideal not to have a registration. 

I don't find a way how enable this feature. If anyone could help me out, that would be great. 

Cheers, b

Hi @BarnabasGulyas !

If you're talking about making a course available to the public without requiring them to have a canvas account, you're able to make your course public. However, if you are using the Free-For Teacher edition, this feature is not available. If you are using the K12 free for teacher edition however, this feature is available. If you're confused about how to identify which version you have, you can check out the URL at the top of your page. Or, you can check out the global navigation bar on the left side of your screen. Canvas.instructure will have the navy blue navigation bar, and k12.instructure would have the red one.

IF you are using the k12 version, you can do this by going into your course settings > course details > scroll down to Visibility and change the visibility from course to public.

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions! If you are currently running canvas.instructure version and still want it to be public, feel free to send me a private DM message via canvas community here! I'll be willing to assist you with that, there's a couple tricks you can do.

 

All the best,
Noah
