How to Create User Links

How to create a section of Internet links for students:

  2. In the pull-down menu select "Course Admin."
  3. Click the Links Tool.
  4. Click the New Link button.
  5. Now create a Link Category by clicking [New Category]. You'll get a popup window. Enter the name of the Link Category and a description of it. Click save.
  6. You're back on the New Link page. Give your new link a Title and enter its URL. It's best to leave the "Open in New Window" box checked.

  8. Click Save if you're done, or Save and New to continue making New Links.

How to add a User Link for ONLY You

Recall that you can create personal, individual links that only you see - not students. To create a new, personal link, on your course Home Page:

  1. Click the drop-down arrow on the User Links widget. 
  2. Select Add Links. This will bring you to Edit My Links.
  3. Enter the Title and URL for any personal links you want.
