Part+6+-+Links+and+Files


 * Adding internal/external links and files to your wiki: **


 * Links: Adding links to your wiki can give students quick access to further information without being a distraction **
 * ** Internal Links ** - links back to other parts of your wiki
 * To embed a video instead of just providing a link to a video, revisit Part 3 - Video and Widgets
 * Adding internal links is quite easy
 * ** External Links ** - links to other websites and information
 * Adding an external link is just the same
 * If you want students to visit the American Chemical Society Webpage, you can simply provide a link to the [|ACS]
 * You can have the wiki open up in a new window for ease of returning, or the same window as above
 * ** Redirecting Pages **- one the left-hand toolbar, the page links can be directed back to other places (like another wiki or school webpage)
 * To redirect your pages, revisit the "Manage Wiki" tab and find "Pages"
 * Once there you can select, "rename" or "redirect" as you scroll over each page
 * When you redirect you must provide the exact page name and wiki you would like to redirect to


 * Files: Adding files to your wiki is very easy, formatting them once their on is not **
 * To add a file, simply select the "File" tab above and locate the file on your computer, flash drive, or Dropbox!!
 * Why might it be beneficial to upload a PDF version of your files:
 * Takes up less space usually
 * Can not be directly modified by those that download - unless they cut/paste
 * PDF slides are often easier to view as students
 * Word Document of a Lab:
 * [[file:T07D08 - 04.26.11 - Blood Red Kc Determination.docx]]
 * PDF of the same Lab:
 * [[file:T07D08 - 04.26.11 - Blood Red Kc Determination.pdf]]
 * Power Point Presentation:
 * [[file:T07D02 - 04.01.11 - 7.2 Position of Equilibrium.pptx]]
 * PDF of the same Presentation: (sometimes you lose the equation editor text)
 * [[file:T07D02 - 04.01.11 - 7.2 Position of Equilibrium.pdf]]
