How to: Create internal navigation links in your module   

As well as creating urls to external websites you can create internal links to resources or aspects of a page as well.  Internal links are useful for navigation around content heavy sections.

Note:  If you have collapsed topics you can only use internal links within a section, not to navigate from one section to another.

Creating the anchor

The 'anchor' is thing you want to create a navigation link to, like a bookmark.

• Go to your module in Moodle
• Within a Label or the description section of an activity, resource or a section, expand the formatting toolbar using the 'Show more buttons' button
• Click on the HTML button
• Find the piece of text you want to anchor, usually the title
• Before the title paste in the following HTML code:  <span id="anchor_TITLE OF THE ANCHOR">
• Directly after the title paste in the following HTML code:  </span>
• Click on the HTML button again to check that visually nothing has changed
• Click Save changes

Creating the link

This will produce a hyperlink that you can click on and it will take you to the connected anchor.

Note:  The hyperlink isn't active in the editing mode, you can test it once you've clicked Save changes.
