Blackboard 9.1 Using Internal Course Links

This has been perplexing for a while, but finally figured out how in Blackboard 9.1 as a student at CSU-Eastbay. Please take note of using https instead of http for course links.

• Copy desired link location (Right-click usually does the trick.)
• Paste link into desired location
• • e.g. [Week 9 Course Documents] https://bb.csueastbay.edu/webapps/blackboard/content/listContent.jsp?course_id=_386297_1&content_id=_4318960_1
• Select entire link
• Click on Hyperlink icon in Text Editor menu   (The little globe)
• In the dialog box
• • Under Hyperlink Properties, make sure to select HTTPS
  • Paste URL for link (Make sure that you only have a single "https://")
  • Select Open in a New Window if desired (I usually do)

https://bb.csueastbay.edu/webapps/blackboard/content/listContent.jsp?course_id=_386297_1&content_id=_4318960_1

It is also possible to embed a link, such as click here for Week 9 Course Materials. [Note: This one opens in same window]

Just had to share. I missed being able to do this since WebCT!
