Oncourse Web Content tool: Overview

What it does

The Web Content tool allows site owners to display external web sites within their worksites.

Key concepts

Links: To set up a Web Content link, you can specify the URL for any web site and a brief descriptive title. A link will appear in the menubar with the title you've chosen; when you click the link, the web site will open within your worksite.

Multiple links: You may add multiple Web Content links to your menubar.

Things to consider

• If you want to provide many links to web sites for your course or project participants, you can avoid cluttering your menubar by listing most of them in the Resources section.
  
  
• Departments, collaborations, or other groups may use the Web Content tool to provide a prominent link to their public worksites.
  
  
• Some web sites may have coding that prevents them from opening within a frame (i.e., the page will take over the whole browser when you click the link, rather than displaying within the application).
