Quicklinks
With the editor you can link to other parts of your course in Brightspace, such as Announcements, Assignments and course files.
- Click on Insert Quicklink
- Click the type of item you want to link to, then select the item you want. The item appears as a link in the editor.
Example
Via the HTML editor you can link to a course element or a file that you use elsewhere in the course. For example, under Content you can place a quick link to the assignment of a certain week in the (sub) module of that week.
- Navigate to Content in the navigation bar of your course.
- Navigate to the desired (sub)module.
- Click Create New.
- Click on HTML Document.
- Give the file a title.
- Click on Insert Quicklink.
- Click on Assignments.
- Click on the desired assignment to add it directly to the editor.
- Click on the pencil icon behind the assignment to change the settings first.
- If necessary, adjust the link text under Title. You do not change the name of the item, but the text that links to the item.
- Click on Insert.
- The blue text in the editor is the link. Optionally add a description for the students.
- Click on Save and Close to make the file with the link available in your course.
You can also refer to an entire module via a quicklink. To do this, click on Insert Quicklink and then on Content. Then click on the desired module and then click on the plus sign behind the name of the module (top right of the list). You can then add the module by clicking Insert.
