Adding web or course links

You can add direct links to external web resources or to items with the course.

Within the Course Content window, hover your mouse where you wish to add new content and select the (purple) + icon.

This brings up the add content context menu, select Create

This brings up the Create Item context menu, select Link

There are two tabs in the top menu: Create Web Link and Create Course Link. A web link creates a link to an external website. The course link allows you to link to content elsewhere in the same course/ module, e.g. to an assessment brief to an assessment submission point.

Create a web link:

Add a name for your link, e.g. BBC website
Choose ‘Visible to students’
Add the URL to the Link URL field e.g. https://www.bbc.co.uk/
Add a description (optional)
Press Save

Create a Course Link:

Select the Create Course Link tab from the top menu.

Search for an item on the course you wish to link to. You can use a keyword and/or category (Document, Assessments, SCORM, File, LTI or Journal) to search for the item you wish to link to. The search results will appear in the right-hand side panel.
Select the item you wish to link to. Find the item you wish to link to from the list of search results, and select it using the radio buttons. You will then reveal the options to give this link a Display Name and a Description.
Save.

Links will display in Course Content, with the usual Visible/Not Visible to students option

Just note: “Changes to the visibility or release conditions apply to the linked item and all associated course links”.
