Adding a Course Link
  Faculty have the ability to link to other items available in the same course. For example, let's assume that you have created a discussion board forum. The discussion board forum would be available to students in the discussion board area. However, with the course link tool you create a link in the documents area inside a folder 'Week 1'.

The course link feature allows you to add links to existing course tools or content in other locations of the same Blackboard course. In order to link a tool or content item to a different location using the Course Link tool follow these steps:
