[ARCHIVED] HYPERLINKING

[othuke_abada]

Hello,

Does anyone have an idea about applying hyperlinking? This time around, it is hyperlinking to a sign-in website. Not an open website, instead it is a website requiring you to sign in . Any recommendations are highly appreciated

Hello there,  @othuke_abada  Thank You for posting your question.  I'm not sure I totally understand what you are asking.  Can you please describe, in more detail, what you are trying to do?  Are you an instructor or a student?  Are you just trying to create a link to a website in a Canvas course?  Something else?  If you could shed some light on this topic, that would be appreciate.  And, if you could maybe share a screen shot or two (making sure not to include any identifying student data information), that might be helpful, too.  Thanks, and hope to hear from you soon!

Hello, thanks Chris. 

Please see above screen shot of what i am interested in doing. I am an administrative CANVAS support person in my institution. How do I create these kind of Quick Links?

All am trying to do is to create a link to a website in a Canvas course. However, I expect this link should to link me directly to the outside course...

We can also set up a time to discuss this if you are available

Hello  @othuke_abada ...

This is just a guess, but the image you've included looks like an invisible table has been created for that page (3 rows, 4 columns), and an image with some text has been included for each cell in the table.  How do I insert a table using the Rich Content Editor as an instructor?

As for creating the links, you can follow the information in these Guides:

• How do I create a hyperlink in the Rich Content Editor as an instructor?
• How do I insert links to course content into the Rich Content Editor using the Content Selector as a...

Be a bit careful with using tables in pages, though...as they are not always accessible for people with screen readers.  For example, you might want to take a look at these resources: 

• OSCQR – Standard #24 – OSCQR – Open SUNY Course Quality Review Rubric
• OSCQR – Standard #25 – OSCQR – Open SUNY Course Quality Review Rubric
• OSCQR – Standard #26 – OSCQR – Open SUNY Course Quality Review Rubric

I hope these resources will be of help to you...good luck!
