"Hyperlinking Within D2L there’s the ability to link from element to element. I could link to any object in the course, instead of having to provide explicit instructions for students to follow. By this I mean linking to elements within the course – such as surveys, discussion board, previously mentioned materials, drop box, etc.

With Blackboard I could create basic course links, but not from inside a paragraph of text, or from an image. In D2L I am able to hyperlink in context – linking directly to the element “X”, not to the general area."
