does anyone know how to make that a link instead of that?
But ties into discussion we had about the redundancy of exams in this day and age when no-one is really away from access to information in the so called ‘real world’. Unless of course you want the internet in the rsamd away from your desk…

Hi Bill,
Good article. As mobile technology continues to grow it could well be the case that access to the internet is both available and expected at all times. What you, yourself, – together with your students – choose to do with that technology and that access will probably be completely unique to you. And if, at the end of the day, the answer to that question is ‘absolutely nothing’, then that’s fine too – there’s no right or wrong answer here.
Re making a link: when you are creating your posts highlight the text you wish to make into a link and click on the little ‘chain icon’ in the toolbar. This will open a pop-up window. Fill in the URL of the page you want to link to (copying and pasting will save you time) in the ‘Link URL’ field and click on ‘Insert’ (you can safely ignore the rest).
When you save / publish your post it will now have a link to your chosen website. Hope this helps.
Scott.
