How to create an open access course

Open access courses can be accessed by anybody that has access to the hyperlink to the course.

Important note: Open access courses cannot be created on trial or pay as you go accounts.

You might want to create an open access course to market a demonstration version of a course that you’re making, or to provide access to your course to a subject matter expert for proof reading.

Important note: Open access courses are chargeable and because of the way that they work, you should contact your customer success manager before beginning to use this feature.

Setting a course as open access

You set as course as open access via the course settings page. To access the course settings page:

1. From the Nimble LMS home screen, click the Courses button.

• Login required – You’ll enrol your learners onto the course just like usual (the default for any course that you create with Nimble).
• Open access – Your course will be accessible to anybody with the link to it.

4. To find the URL for your open access course, just look beneath the Title field at the top of the page.

5. Save your changes by clicking the  button at the bottom of the page.
