How to Add External Links to Your LMS Curriculum – Quick and Easy Guide

How to add a link to the curriculum?

Adding a link to the curriculum makes it easier for learners to access extra materials like websites, documents, or videos. This helps teachers and students include useful information from outside sources right inside the curriculum. By adding links, the learning experience becomes richer and more interesting.


Furthermore, it helps learners understand the topics better as well and keeps the curriculum fresh with new content. Links make it simple to move between the main lessons and extra resources, making learning more interactive and complete.
