Preface

Time for action — link the topic page to its image


Just use the same principles as before. There's nothing new to learn here.

  1. 1. Right-click on the page and copy its URL.

  2. 2. Click the editing icon for Topic 0 and click on the first image, which is for Topic 1.

  3. 3. Click on the hyperlink icon and paste the URL of the page into the hyperlink box.

  4. 4. Save, and check whether it works!

The same process, we went through for Topic 1, now needs to be repeated for the other three topics. Are you up for it?

Have a go hero — link the other topics to their images

It's just a question of taking a topic section, copying its resource links onto a new Moodle page, prettying up the web page, and then linking it to its matching image up at the top of our course. Once you have done that with all of the other sections, there is only one more job left to do, which is, to get the effect that we saw earlier.
