Moodle - URL resource (staff/faculty)


Use the URL resource when you want to link to a web page or file from the main course page.

How To Add A URL

1. From the main course page, enable Edit mode at the top right.

2. With editing turned on, select Add an activity or resource at the bottom of the section you wish to add the URL and then select URL.

3. Enter a Name which will appear as the resource title. Copy the URL that you want to link to from your browser and paste it into the URL field (or type it in, including the https://). The Description field is optional.

5. Expand Appearance and determine if the link should open in the same browser tab or in a new browser tab.

  • If you're linking to something within your course, select Open (which will open it in the current tab/window).
  • If you're linking to something outside of your course, select New window.

6. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save and return to course.
