Page Builder allows editors to create public-facing pages. Unlike regular pages, users who are not logged in to CoursePlus can access public pages. These pages could be aimed at prospective students who may not yet have CoursePlus accounts, or to provide additional course information not included in the syllabus. Faculty can even offer open-access resources through public pages.
Only Standard pages can be made public—not Lecture pages. For a breakdown of the difference, please refer to Page Builder: Lecture vs. Standard Pages.
How to Make a Page Builder Page Public
New Pages
- If creating a new page, select the This page is a public page checkbox during the setup.
- Proceed with page creation as usual.
Existing Pages
- Find the page under Navigation Tools on the main Faculty Tools page.
- Select the hyperlinked subtitle of the page.
- Select the Edit this Page button in the top right, which brings up Page Builder.
- Select Edit Page Information (pencil icon) in the corner of the Basic Information section.
- Select the This page is a public page checkbox.
- Select Update Basic Information.
Note: If the page includes any systemwide sections, making it public will hide those sections—even from users who are logged in. This is because public pages are meant to be accessible to anyone, but interacting with CoursePlus tools requires users to be logged in.
