You can make standalone learning objects available to users who do not have IDs and passwords for Learning Environment. This is beneficial if you want to open the learning object to metadata harvesting, share the learning object on a social network, or include it in a public repository.
Note All learning objects in a public repository are publicly accessible as well.
If a publicly available learning object is within a private repository, a user can only preview the learning object, but cannot retrieve, view metadata, or view the learning object's files on its landing page.
Users can share the URL for publicly available learning objects on social networks. Users outside Learning Environment can see the URL for a publicly available learning object and access it. Social sharing buttons are only visible for learning objects published to an LOR with Public Availability enabled.
