Attribution Document

Courses will appropriately attribute content used in the Course Attribution Document and will be saved in the project folder. The attribution document will also be linked in the footer of the CourseArc course. In its simplest form, an attribution consists of a Title, Author, Source, and License (TASL). The title of the content being attributed should be displayed on the content page itself, along with a link to its source.

Hyperlinks

Hyperlinks should be written using descriptive link text. This means that the purpose of the link can be determined from the link text alone and a user would not need to rely upon additional context to determine the purpose or function of a link. If a link opens in a new window or leads to a specific document type, that should be indicated in the link text.
