It may take awhile for the Pager icon or tool to disappear, but it will eventually, usually when you log back into your course.

titleHow do I make External Links Open external links open in eLearning?

Recent changes in browser security are causing problems in eLearning with Topic Links to external web sites. These resources are not opening for students as they once did.

The easiest and best solution for this problem is to have the link open in a new window. We consider it a “Best Practice” to have sites external to eLearning always open in a new window.

Please follow these simple steps to edit your links:

    1. Select the down arrow next to your Topic and select Edit Link:

  1. On the next screen, check the box to have the link open in a new window, and then click Update.
