In Brightspace, it is possible to add a weblink/hyperlink to Content.

1. Navigate within the course to ‘Content’ in the yellow navigation bar.
   

   

2. Then select the content folder where you want to add the weblink, for example under Literature:
   

   

3. In the next screen, click ‘WebLink’.
   

   

4. Provide the WebLink:
   • A title that will also be shown in Content.
   • (optional) a Due Date to track whether students have viewed the link on time.
   • (optional) A description for the link
   • The link you want to share under External Link
     

     

5. On the right side, you can adjust the settings. For WebLink, under Display Option you have the following options to display the link:
   • Open in a new tab (recommended): The link opens in a new tab.
   • Embed on the page: The link is displayed within Brightspace. This is not possible for all links, so if this option gives an error message, always choose “Open in a new tab”.
6. Finally, click ‘Save and Close’ at the bottom.
