The Fix link text wizard provides you with
"link text"
errors for the course and
suggests
alternatives, based on the retrieved title
of the URL to help fix them
quickly, but this can also be customised.
Links
should be descriptive of the content
they're linking to, such as
"Project Jude guidelines" rather than
"guidelines.html" or "Click here". The
existing
link text errors are
listed
with a “Submit Bulk Fixing” button, which
will then update all the link text errors
on that current page.
All fixes
applied through this wizard can be
reverted with the Bulk fix log. All errors
hidden through this wizard are located in Exception
Management.
This Fix link text wizard deals with
URLs which have been
reported for using incorrect link text,
either using a known bad phrase for a
link, such as “Click here”, which gives no
context, OR for using the actual URL
itself, which creates a bad experience for
users which need to listen to the URL
instead of viewing it.
Please note that link changes need a degree
of teacher oversight / engagement.
However, we do automated retrieval of the
website’s own title, and provide it as a
suggested text in the “Update to” input
field. Hence the teacher needs to review
and edit each link’s “Update to” input
field, as plain text, which will then be
used to update the link text in its
content location.
