I created my course and I would like to share it with my friends and other people, but if I send a link to them, I need to log in or create an account. How to make a course public so that others can see it without registering?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Kelley Help me Mr
How to enable "Include this course in the public course index" ??
i need my course public visible
Hi @kedive6088
Including courses in your school's Public Course Index is an account opt-in feature and must be enabled by your institutional Canvas Admin. Also, you might need your school to enable Self-Registration. This guide will get you there, but you will likely need to talk with your Canvas Admin: How do I include a course in the Public Course Index?
You can learn more about the Canvas enrollment options at https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-10876-4214135439
I hope this helps,
Kelley
