Adding links to open in new tabs on an HTML page
Adding a quicklink (hyperlink) that opens in a new tab allows students to easily access all relevant links without needing to navigate back to session pages or modules. External links, such as reading resources or activities outside of VU Collaborate, can be opened in new tabs to improve accessibility.
