How to link to a document on Flightline
To link from Blackboard to a document you have saved on your Flightline web site, follow these steps:
- Upload the document on Flightline (Find out how...).
- In your Blackboard course, choose the content page from which you want to link the document. Or, go to the Control Panel and choose the page.
- Click the "Edit View" link in the upper right corner of the screen.
- From the Add Tool Bar, select the "External Link" tool.
- In the Name: box, type in a label for the document.
- This is the text students will see blue and underlined.
- In the URL: box, enter the web address of the file on Flightline.
- Type the web address of the file if you know it.
- Or... Open your site in Frontpage. Click on the file. Go to the File menu and choose "Preview in Browser." Copy and paste the web address from the browser into Blackboard.
- Set the availability options for the document. These work just like they do when adding an item.
- Click Submit.
