10-071 Opening Course Access for Guests

Overview

You can set guest access to your course or any other learning resource. By doing so, you make all course contents or the learning resource publicly available. To gain guest access you do not need to log in with a user- or university account. Guests only have access to course elements without personal data. Guest access can not be given to 'Learning path courses'.

Please note: Please only apply guest access to contents where you are the owner, material that you have created and content that has been licensed accordingly.
