LON-CAPA Help

Web Pages housed on a web server external to the LON-CAPA content network can be displayed in a LON-CAPA course, within the standard interface, (i.e., inline menu including navigation controls, and links/icons), by adding an External Resource to the course.

If the external server has been configured to disallow display of the content within another page, LON-CAPA will simply display a link to the external web page instead of showing the page's content immediately below the standard LON-CAPA interface elements.

1. Select Course Editor on the Inline Menu or Edit course contents within Main Menu.

2. On the in-line menu of the Course Editor screen, click

3. Type in the title of the web resource you wish to add in the Title text box.

4. Type in the URL of the web resource in the URL text box.

5. Click the

   button to display the external web page in a pop-up window.

6. Click the
   

   Add Link

   button to add the web resource to the course.
