Links can be added to a course in several ways. Adding a link is a common way of sharing resources with students.

Some resources commonly shared via a link:

a website (external link)
a scholarly article from the library database (external links)
a link to another area of the course such as an assignment dropbox (internal links) Select this link to view a tutorial.
a link to a YouTube video (though there are better ways to do this) Select this link to view a tutorial.

A link can be shared on the Modules page as a stand-alone item, with no explanation. Select this link to view a tutorial.

A link can be shared on other Canvas pages, assignments, discussions, or almost any other place where the Rich Content Editor Displays. This is the preferred method, as it allows for the addition of context, which may be important for understanding. Select this link to view a tutorial.
