Using Oncourse, how do I publish or unpublish my site?

Note: To complete these procedures, you must be assigned a role having the necessary permissions. To determine your role, follow the directions in Participant roles. To view a list of permissions associated with a given role, see Permissions, roles, and tools. For a basic understanding of roles and permissions, see Permissions and roles: Overview.

In Oncourse, all sites are published by default. You can unpublish your site temporarily, which makes it unavailable to site participants while you make changes (e.g., to prepare for the upcoming semester). When you're ready, you can publish the site again so that participants can see it.

You can do this either from Site Setup within the site in question, or from Worksite Setup within My Workspace; see Editing your site information if you've removed the Site Setup tool.

Note: If you unpublish your site, students in the course no longer see the course tab in their Oncourse workspaces. Students may become confused about whether they are officially registered for your course if they do not see it in their workspaces, particularly in the few weeks prior to the beginning of a new semester.

Individuals with any type of instructor role (AI/TA, instructor, assistant) will still have access to the course when it is not published.

To change the publication status of your site:

From Site Setup

  1. In your site's menubar, click Site Setup.

  2. Click Manage Access.

  3. Under "Site Status", next to Publish site, check or uncheck the box to publish or unpublish your site, respectively .

  4. Click Update.

From Worksite Setup

  1. From your My Workspace menubar, click Worksite Setup.

  2. Check the box next to the site you're working with, and then click Edit.

  3. Click Manage Access.

  4. Under "Site Status", next to Publish site, check or uncheck the box to publish or unpublish your site, respectively .

  5. Click Update.
