The "Links" tool allows you to create a library of resources for your students. Especially resources that you have not created yourself.

The link can be of two types:

• External link: you can create a link to a web site on your home page situated outside your course area.

• Internal link: you can link towards a page or a tool inside your e-gnosis course. You can do this by first going to that page or document or tool, then copying its URL from the URL bar of your browser (CTRL+C), then adding a link and pasting this URL in the URL field and give it the name you want.

To add a link

1. Enter the URL for the link, e.g. http://www.google.com
2. Enter the name for the link (will be used to make the link).
3. Enter a description of the material at the linked destination.
4. Click the checkbox "Yes" if you want the link to appear on your homepage.
5. Click "Ok".
