Adding a URL
Firefox is the best browser to use when accessing Moodle 2. Free download: http://www.mozilla.org
The URL module enables a teacher to provide a web link as a course resource.
Anything that is freely available online, such as documents or images, can be linked to; the URL doesn’t have to be the home page of a website. The URL of a particular web page may be copied and pasted or a teacher can use the file picker and choose a link from a repository such as Flickr, YouTube or Wikimedia (depending upon which repositories are enabled for the site).
There are a number of display options for the URL, such as embedded or opening in a new window and advanced options for passing information, such as a student's name, to the URL if required.
Step 1: Turn editing on
Step 2: Click 'Add an activity or resource'
Step 3: Scroll down to resources, check 'URL'
Step 4: Choose 'ADD'
Step 5: Name your URL and add a description
Step 6: Next choose a link or paste the URL
Step 7: Save and return to course
