While you can always simply post a file or URL to your course, sometimes it's nice to tuck a file or web link into a page resource (or book or assignment or.... basically, any textbox). (Download this guide to embedding links, files and videos.)

To link a webpage or file to text in any Moodle textbox, start with these three steps:

1. Type in the text to which you want to link the webpage or file. Pro tip: Your text should indicate what the reader can expect to find by following the link. Avoid linking to text that simply says "click here."
2. Select the text you have just typed with your mouse.
3. In the toolbar, click on the Link icon.

To create a text link to a webpage in any Moodle textbox:

1. In the Create link dialogue box that pops up, type or paste the complete URL into the field labeled Enter a URL.
2. Click on the Create link button to return to your textbox. Save your changes!

To create a text link to a file in any Moodle textbox:

1. In the Create link dialogue box that pops up, click on the Browse repositories link to bring up the File picker dialogue box.
2. Select the Upload a file link from the options in the left column, then click on the Browse... link to locate the file on your computer.
3. Select the file and click on Open to attach it.
4. Click on Upload this file.  Save your changes!
