Share the FAQ Tool
Instructors can share the FAQ tool with their students by either directing the students to access from the nav bar, add a link within a content module, or hyperlink within the HTML editor.
Access from the FAQ tool
All users enrolled in a course can access your FAQ content from the FAQ Tool. To access the tool, on the nav bar, click the More Tools menu, then select FAQ.
Add a Link to the FAQ tool within a Content Module
- On the nav bar click on Content.
- Within the Module you want to create the link, click on the Upload/Create button.
- Select Create a Link from the menu.
- Enter a Title, such as “FAQ for this course.”
- Copy and paste the following URL to the FAQ into the URL field: https://tcu.brightspace.com/d2l/lms/faq/view_faq.d2l?ou={orgUnitId}
- Uncheck the box for Open as External Resource (since we are linking to a tool within TCU Online).
- Click on the Create button.
- The link will display within the content module.
Add a QuickLink to the FAQ tool from the HTML Editor
- Within the HTML editor anywhere in the course, Instructors can click the “Insert QuickLink” button.
- In the Insert QuickLinks window, scroll down and select URL.
- Paste the following URL into the URL field: https://tcu.brightspace.com/d2l/lms/faq/view_faq.d2l?ou={orgUnitId}
- Add a Title – this is the link text students will click. In this example, I typed FAQ for this course. Select the Target to either Same Frame (the link will open to replace the current page) or New Window (the link will open a new tab). Then, click Insert.
- Continue writing your content in the HTML editor, then click Save or Update.
