Add Web Links to Ultra Courses
In many courses, it may become necessary to provide students with quick and easy access to resources outside of Scholar. Primary examples of such resources include outside websites, or links to files stored in Google Drive due to their size. Below are the basic steps for adding a web link to a Scholar content area.
When inside The Course Content feed, click the plus sign where you want it to go and click Create.
Select Link from the list of possible course content items.
This will open up a window allowing you to add the link. The top of the window will provide an option to set either a Web Link or a Course Link; for an outside website, ensure that Web Link is highlighted.
Two fields are provided: The URL, and a description of where the link leads. Paste the desired URL into the URL field. Select the desired settings, then click Save to post the link into your Course Content feed.
In order to ensure the students' browsers don’t block the link, “Open in a new window” should be checked.
The link will then appear in the content area as shown below. Users can click on the link name to open the link.
Instructors will need to use the dropdown below the link name to make the link visible to students.
