This article is for instructors who wish to learn more about using Course Links in a HuskyCT Ultra course.

A **Course Link** is a shortcut to an existing folder/module, tool, assessment, or content item in a course. 

> ❌ **Linking Exceptions **
> ❌ 
> ❌ - Course Links can’t be created for discussions because discussion settings already allow a link on the course content page.
> ❌ - A Course Link to a folder or learning module cannot be created inside (or moved into) another another folder or learning module.
> ❌ - Course Links don’t work with learning modules where force sequence is enabled. This would allow users access to content they shouldn't yet access.
> ❌ - If a course link exists in a learning module, it's not possible to enable force sequence.

> ℹ️ For example (shown below), if the visibility status of Assignment #1 is changed to “Visible to students” the Course Link to Assignment #1 will also be changed to “Visible to students.”  Or, if the visibility of the Course Link for Assignment #1 is changed to “Hidden from students” the original Assignment #1 will also be changed.
