I have a submodule with content in a module. I want the same submodule to be accessible from multiple modules. Is there a way to either link the original submodule or copy it to more than one module?
Hi there! This is a great question as I can totally see how that would be useful throughout a term! When I want my students to refer to a module (or submodule) in more than one place, I do this within the Brightspace Editor by selecting "Insert Quicklink > Content > Module/Submodule". It offers easy access to the content without recreating it in multiple places. I included an image below that highlights the "Insert Quicklink" menu within the Brightspace Editor and pointed to Submodule link as well. I hope this helps 🙂
@ https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/profile/38541/dorr%40cavlfo.org Are you sure you don't have that? After you select Content, the next option will be the content items that you have available in your module.
I tried this out and love it! I often ask my students to refer to something else in the LMS. Having the ability to create an instant link will make it easier for both me and my students.
@sarah.p.153 I wish to create a link to another module or sub-module, not an item within the module.
@Daniel.O.943 Click the plus sign next to the module name instead of a content item.
I will try that! Thank you!
So I had a similar but slightly different ask. I had a module with content in it and I wanted to link to the content (not the module) in another module to avoid having to upload it multiple times, which would cause problems with versioning. I discocvered that in the module clicking on the Upload / Create button shows an option "Add From Manage Files" and I was able to choose the files from there. They appear in my module as if they were separately uploaded but are actually just links to the singular files in the course offering files. Yes, it would be nice to point to the module itself (especially if it has a lot of content that you don't want to have appear in multiple places), but other than making a web file with a quick link, I don't see another way.
