To add or edit links that are associated with a module, click on the
"Links" tab on the editing interface. The
"Edit Featured Links" screen displays.
From the "Links" tab you can:
These links are viewable in the "Links" box that displays with each
module (online view only). The featured links appear under their specified category type, for
example, the supplemental links are listed under the "Supplemental"
heading.
To add a new link to a module, use the following steps:
- Type the label for the link in the "Title" field (required).
- Click on the down arrow next to the "Type" field and
select the type of link from the drop-down list (prerequisite, supplemental, or example).
- Click on the down arrow next to the "Strength" field and
select a number from the drop-down list for the strength of the link.
5 is the strongest link. Stronger links will display with more bars next to the link title in the module's "Links" box.
- Identify the target of the link by typing in a module ID in
the "Module ID" field, or typing a URL. You can
optionally specify a version if you entered a module ID. You can provide the name of any files that you added to the module and then readers can download that file using the featured link. Be sure and include just the file name and not the full URL to it, if the file is part of your module. For example: "myword.doc".
- Click
Add to add the link.
If the module already contains links, they will appear in the top half
of the screen. To edit an existing link, use the following steps:
- Update the contents of the "Title" field to change the label of the
link.
- Click on the down arrow next to the "Type" field and
select another type of link from the drop-down list.
- Click on the down arrow next to the "Strength" field and
select another number from the drop-down list for the strength of the
link. 5 is the strongest link.
- Update the contents of the "URL" field to change the URL of the
link.
- Click
Update Links to make your changes.
To delete an existing link, select the checkbox in the "Delete" column
in the list of existing links. Then click Update Links
to delete the link.
