What is a Weblink?

A weblink allows you to add a link to either an Internal object (any object in the system, be it a course, group, file, etc.) or an external website.

This can be useful for linking to supplementary information for your course / linking to resources within another area of the LMS.

Adding a Weblink

A weblink can either link to an outside URL, or a location within the LMS.

To add a weblink:
1. Click ‘Add New Item’, then ‘Weblink’.

2. Next you can either link to an outside URL, or a location within the LMS.
3. A World Wide Web weblink will ask you for a URL. Add the URL, then type the name of the link in the ‘Weblink Name’ field that will be displayed with the link. You can add a description if you want, then click ‘Add Weblink’.

For a link inside of the LMS ( to another course, file etc.), you’ll need to click ‘Select Target Object’ and choose the object you want to link to.

A list of all of the items in the LMS will open. Click the item that you want to link to.

4. Lastly, the settings page for the weblink will open. Click the checkboxes below ‘Valid’ and ‘Active’, then click ‘Save’ to finish.
