I had a question from a student who had clicked on a download link, and was then bewildered to find that the item opened in their browser showing the save location on their device, rather than the web address. This was a younger student, so was new to recording a download location for referencing source materials.
The things we don't know that others don't know! As a result, I put together some instructions, which I have added to the course's Moodle glossary (which I use as a FAQ bank). I thought I would also share these instructions on the web, just in case they proved useful for anyone else.
To quickly get a download address, on the website where you downloaded the file, follow these instructions:
- Hover your mouse cursor over the top of the link
- Right click to bring up the right-click menu
- Select "Copy link address" from the right-click menu
- Go to your Word document and click where you want the URL to paste
- Key Ctrl & V to paste the URL.
Easy. But only when we know how.
