Web Links: How do I create a link to a web link on the Home page, within a Folder, or in a Learning Module?

ANSWER:

Add Content Link: Web Links

Individual web links can be added to the Home page, Folders, and Learning Modules. In this way, you can direct students to a specific web link.  When going through the Web Links tool, all available links are listed.

Role(s) Needed: These instructions apply to Course- and Section-level Designers.

Note: Make sure the Web Links tool is added to your course.  To add tools, from the Build or Teach tab, click Manage Course on the Designer Tools (Build) or Instructor Tools (Teach) menu.  Then, select Tools.

Step 1: From the Build tab, go to the Folder or Learning Module where you want to add a link to a specific web link.

Step 2: Click the Add Content Link button.

Step 3: Select Web Link.

Step 4: If the item already exists, click on it in Select from inventory, then click Add Selected.

TIP: You can select multiple items to link to at once; hold down the Ctrl key as you click on the items in the inventory box.

If the item does not yet exist, click the Create Web Link button. The process for creating a web link is described in the Web Links folder in this knowledge base.

A link to the item is placed on the Home page, Folder, or Learning Module. A content item can be linked from multiple places in the same course via the Add Content Link option.
