Sharing links with students is a common task in course sites, whether pointing to articles, websites, other online resources, or video recordings.
Providing a link to an internet site
In your Moodle course site, you may want to add links to external resources, such as an article or video. There are a few ways to do this.
Add URL to course home page: URL is an resource type in Moodle, and you can add a link to your home page by selecting "add an activity or resource" and selecting "URL." From there, you will give the resource link a name and add the URL to the "external URL" field.
Add links to text in a course page: When you are editing a course page, you will see a text editor box. Within the text editor, there is a link button in the toolbar. You can add a link by highlighting the text you want to add a link to, selecting the link button, and inserting the URL into the "Enter a URL" field.
Providing a library link
If you are adding a link to a Bernsten Library resource, you can use either method listed above, but you should use a permalink for Library resources, rather than a normal link.Library permalinks all have the prefixhttps://librarysearch.unwsp.edu/permalink/...Using a permalink ensures students are able to access the same resource.If you are using an existing library resource link, check that the URL has the permalink prefix. If it does not, add the prefix in front of the existing URL.
