When to link between lessons
Cross-linking lessons is helpful when one lesson references material covered in another. For example, if your "Advanced Editing" lesson assumes students have completed the "Getting Started with Editing" lesson, a direct link saves them from hunting through the sidebar.
You can also use internal links to create a "table of contents" lesson at the start of a module, or to point students toward bonus material and resources in other lessons.
Get the lesson URL
- Open the lesson you want to link to (the destination lesson).
- Copy the URL from your browser's address bar. It will look something like:
https://courses.ruzuku.com/courses/your-course-id/lessons/lesson-id
Add the link in another lesson
- Open the lesson where you want to add the link (the lesson students are reading).
- In the lesson editor, select the text you want to turn into a link.
- Click the link icon in the toolbar.
- Paste the lesson URL and click Link.
Students will see the linked text and can click it to go directly to the other lesson.
Tip: You can also link images to other lessons. See Make images into clickable links.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do internal lesson links work for all enrolled students?
Yes. Any enrolled student can follow a link to another lesson in the same course. If the lesson is inside a hidden module, the link won't work for students until you make that module visible.
Can I link to a lesson in a different course?
You can paste the URL of a lesson from another course, but the student will only be able to access it if they're also enrolled in that other course.
Can I link to a specific section within a lesson?
Ruzuku lesson URLs link to the lesson as a whole, not to specific sections within it. If you need to point students to a specific part of a long lesson, consider breaking it into shorter lessons instead.
