Include Files in Assignments

You can include videos and other instructional content in the assignment instructions to prepare students before they begin the assignment. This is useful for homework, in class, and practice assignments.

If the content you want to include is already online, link to it instead of uploading it to WebAssign.

Link to an external resource

These are general instructions for any web address, including links to Cengage textbook videos.

  1. Copy and paste the following into Instructions to students: <a href="web-address" target="_blank">link-text</a>
  2. Copy the web address you want to link to and replace web-address with the web address.
  3. Replace link-text with the text you want to display to students.
  4. Click Preview to confirm that your link displays and works correctly.
