Dead links can be a nuisance to end users of your course. To avoid this, you should validate your links about once a week.

1.       Open your course, go down to Settings on the Course Menu.

2.       On the right-hand side, you will see a button

3.       Once you open this page, click on Start Link Validation

4.       You will be returned a list of any broken links within the content of your course. Go to the page indicated and correct the broken link.

5.       Run the Link Validator again. Continue this process until you get the message below.
