Add Web Link
There are two main reasons you might want the web site to open in a new window: copyright concerns and ease of navigation. Opening a website within the framework of another is called framing and is frowned upon by copyright scholars. Many sites do not mind being framed. Educational institutions usually have more leeway than commercial organizations, but asking permission first is always a good idea. To be safe, choose to open the site in a new window. Opening a website in a new window also allows users to more easily move back and forth between sites without losing their place. Another consideration is personal preference; some people like having multiple windows open on their desktop while others do not.

The ability to add links anywhere in your course site allows you to create learning modules or simply connect pieces of course material. For example, you could have your students read an article about a certain company or organization, then have students visit the companyâ??s website to gather additional information.
