Creating Accessible Links in Blackboard

Summary

Adding links in your Blackboard course

Instructions

In a content area, learning module, lesson plan, or folder, select Build Content to access the menu and select Web Link.
Type a name and paste or type the URL. Use the http:// protocol.
Type an optional description. You can use the functions in the editor to embed content in your text and add formatting. You have creative control over how your content appears and the flexibility to change the order and appearance when you want.
Select Browse My Computer to upload a file from your computer. The file is saved in the top-level folder in your course's file repository: Course Files or the Content Collection. You can also attach a file from the repository.
Select the appropriate options for availability, tracking, and display dates. Display dates don't affect a web link's availability, only when it appears.
After you submit, the web link appears in the content list. You can change the content at any time. Open the web link's menu and select Edit.
