About Course Links

Course Links are used to link to other items within a Course. All items that appear in the Course Map may be linked to using a Course Link. For example, an Instructor may create a Discussion Board where users discuss the class readings. A link to this Discussion Board may be placed in the Content Area where the articles are posted, such as Course Documents.

Note:a Course Link may be viewed as long as it is available to users in the Course. The Course Link may be opened if the user has access to the item based on the item’s availability and adaptive release rules. For example, if a user does not have access to the item, a message appears when the link is selected.
