Blackboard Ultra (Faculty) - Course Content: Add a Course Link in a Content Area

Course links provide students with direct access to specific content within a Blackboard Ultra course, such as assignments, documents, and more. This guide outlines the steps to add a course link within a content area or learning module.

Adding a Course Link

1. Navigate to your course in Blackboard Ultra.
2. Choose the Content tab in the navigation bar.
3. Within the content area or learning module, hover your mouse where you want to add the link, and then click the + icon. In the menu that appears, select Create.
4. Under the Create menu, choose Link.
5. In the New Link area, toggle from Web Link to Course Link.
   
6. Search through the course content to find the item you wish to link. This can be a Document, File, Learning Module, Assessment, etc.
7. Use the radio button to select the content item you wish to create a course link to. Once selected, you can adjust the display name. Optionally, add a description in the "Description" field to provide context for the link. Click Save when you're done.
   
8. The course link will be added to the content area or learning module and is indicated with a small chain link icon near the item title. 

Tips for Using Course Links

• Use clear and descriptive names for course links so students know exactly what they are clicking on.
• Group related course links together in content areas or learning modules for better organization.
• Regularly check course links to ensure they are still working and pointing to the correct content.
