Adding a Course Link

Faculty have the ability to link to other items available in the same course. For example, let's assume that you have created a discussion board forum. The discussion board forum would be available to students in the discussion board area. However, with the course link tool you create a link in the documents area inside a folder week 1.

The course link feature allows you to add links to existing course tools or content in other locations of the same Blackboard course Web site. In order to link a tool or content item to a different location using the Course Link tool follow these steps:

1. Select the Blackboard course Web site.

2. Click the Control Panel link.

3. Select the content area where you want to create the link (open the folder if necessary).

4. Click the Course Link button.

5. Type a name to identify the new item and use the text box to provide a description if necessary.

6. Click the Browse button to search for the item.

7. Select the item and click the submit button.

8. Click the submit button to send the course link request.
