NavBars - How to add links to Classlist or Dropbox

This post is a tip on how to add links or how to remove links to resources you are not using in your D2L courses. The SCC template was adjusted to provide links to major areas. Many faculty are building course content with links to specific discussion boards, quizzes or dropbox folders. However, in developing a course, faculty need access to these links to create forums, folders and quizzes.

Goto Edit Course > NavBars > SCC brand NavShell link opens the Edit Navigation Bar page. The tabs and graphic reflect the 4 areas of the top of the screen. Your course NavBar is the BOTTOM LEFT and BOTTOM RIGHT.

Click the Bottom Left tab label to see the list of Inactive Links and the list of Current Active Links. Inbetween these boxes are two move buttons, move from inactive to active or move from active to inactive. The list of active links can be modified with the UP and DOWN buttons.

There is a Preview button to confirm your changes. Use the SAVE button once you are happy with the order of links.

If you are NOT using D2L tools, remove the links from your course NavBars to minimize student confusion.
