Using Links to Files & External Sites
As noted on the What Goes Where? page, it is usually best practice to link to external websites and files from the module overview page or other pages.* However, there are situations when it makes sense to give students external links or files that are all grouped in one place. In the second example below, the instructor has used a list of resources linked from a single page.

*Make sure to use accessible link formatting. Avoid using "Click Here" or pasting in a long URL. Best practice is to highlight the text you want to hyperlink with your cursor and then paste the URL into the link box. If it is a file, highlight the text and then search for the file in the Files tab at right. When you select the file your link will be made automatically. (See How to Create Links and the Accessibility Tutorial for more information.)
