Customizing courses>>Content types
Course links enable you to link to other content in your course. You can add course links to any content area in your course. You can also add a course link to a folder. However, you cannot add a course link to a learning unit.
When you add a course link, you give it a name, enter a description, and select the course content you want to link to.
You can also add a course link to the course menu to provide easy access to an area of your course. You may want to add a course link to an area of the course students need to access most frequently.
The course link title and description appear in the content area. Students click the link title to navigate to the course area where the content is located. For example, you might want students to navigate to the Chapter 1 folder in the Course Documents area of the course to view and work on an assignment.
