Link to External Websites in Content

You can add a link to an external website as a standalone topic in your Content area.

Select Content on the course navigation bar.
Select the module or sub-module where the link needs to be added.
Select the Upload/Create button.
From the dropdown menu select Create a Link.
In the pop-up window enter text for the link in the Title field. To meet standards for users with disabilities, do not use a long URL as the link's text.
Enter or paste the web address in the URL field. If pasting the URL, make sure that "http://" does not appear twice at the start of the URL.
Select the Open as an External Resource checkbox. If this option is not selected, the link will not work in most browsers.
Select the Create button.
