Step 5. If you want to include a link to, say, an external website, remain on the Web Link tab.
a) Select whether you want the link to be hidden from participants (Students)

d) You can also give the link a description if you like, but this is optional
e) Press Save in the bottom right corner
Step 6. If you want to include a link to another section on the same Blackboard site, swap to the Course (or Organisation) Link tab

c) Tick the radio button for the result you want to select
d) Now press Save in the bottom right
Step 7. Your link now appears on the site's main page. You can move it by pressing and holding the mouse button to select that section and dragging it to the desired location.
