HyperlinksAdding dimension
Learning Intention To be able to write an opinion based blog that includes facts and
research To be able to incorporate appropriate hyperlinks in texts.
Success Criteria I can write a blog using gathered information. I can add hyperlinks into text.
Hyperlinks
Hyperlinks add another dimension to your writing when working on line. They provide the audience the
opportunity to view additional information surrounding the topic at hand. They create an interactivity between
author and audience. Writing that is supported by hyperlinks, does not assume that all readers have the
same experiences.
The selection of hyperlinks is generally at your discretion. Ask yourself, will it enhance my writing? Would my audience benefit from this additional information?
When creating links, avoid using “click here” as it breaks the flow of your writing. It is preferable to use descriptive words that maintain the flow of your text and at the same time describe the link.
For example:I study at Mount Ridley College [ Links to MRC site]I study at Mount Ridley College [Links to studying at MRC]I study at Mount Ridley College [Links to Mount Ridley in general]I study at Mount Ridley College [Links to study in general]
A technical instructional video for internal and external hyperlinks can be found in the
“how to do” section of the VLE. You will need to watch this video before
moving onto today’s task.
Your TaskToday you will need to write your blog that you began researching in your previous session. You will need to place a minimum of two external hyperlinks into
your text. The references you recorded in the previous session should work as your external hyperlinks.
Your final blog of two paragraphs, needs to be between 200 - 230 words in total. It needs to include your own
personal opinion that is supported by facts.
Your blog needs to be placed on your personal blog space. An internal hyperlink to this page needs to be included on discussion boards in your neighbourhood
space. This needs to be uploaded by Sunday 24th of May.
