Customizing courses>>Organizing course content

Adding course links to the course menu

You can add course links to your course. If you make the course link available to students, a button appears in the course menu for that link. Clicking the button navigates directly to that area of the course.

To add a course link to the course menu:

  1. Click the course name on the My CourseCompass page.

  2. Click Control Panel.

  3. Click Manage Course Menu under Course Options.

This page lists the current set of content areas, tools areas, course links, and external links for the course. Next to each are buttons to modify and remove the area from the course.

  1. Click Course Link on the Add toolbar at the top of the page.

  2. Enter a name for the link in the Name box.

  3. Click Browse to locate the course content you want to link to.

  4. Select a location from the course map that appears in a pop-up window, then click Submit.

Note: You can link to all course content listed in the Course Map. You can link to a folder or learning unit containing an assessment (test, survey, or TestGen test), though you cannot link directly to an assessment.

  1. (Optional) To make the course link unavailable to students, deselect Available for Student/Participant users.

  2. Click Submit, then click OK.

The course link is created. Unless you made the link unavailable, a corresponding button appears in the course menu.

Note: The Allow Guest Access and Allow Observer Access options are unavailable in CourseCompass.
