Elearning:NewLMS/Creating Direct Links

From UBC Wiki

If you want to provide a URL to users that will take them directly to a course, or a specific page/tool:

  1. Copy the URL (e.g. for a course, right click on the course link in the Courses module and copy the link)
  2. Encode the URL (e.g. http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/)
  3. Place the encoded URL after returnUrl= in the following URL:
https://connect.ubc.ca/webapps/ubc-ctc-learn-ui-b2-BBLEARN/execute/shibbolethLogin?authProviderId=_162_1&returnUrl=

This should generate a functional direct link. If the user is already authenticated, they'll be taken directly to the URL. If they are not authenticated, they'll be redirected to CWL and upon successful authentication, they'll be redirected to the desired URL.
