Sharing Links - Easier Student Access
16th August 2024
The new link sharing feature is a great way to guide your students directly to a specific lesson, syllabus, topic, practice level, test or course.
Note that link sharing is NOT relevant if you're using an LMS such as Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, MusicFirst or SchoolBox - continue to link your tasks as before, you don't need to be able to share URLs, you already have direct links to your tasks.
