Special case: Digimentor24 App

If you make your courses available in the Digimentor24 app, additional steps are required to link between lectures. This ensures that the link opens within the Digimentor24 app and not in the browser.

The link is built according to the following link scheme:

<a 
href="Lecture path" 
data-course-uuid="Course UUID" 
data-lecture-uuid="Lecture UUID"
data-lecture-id="Lecture ID"
>Link text</a>

Once you've completed the link scheme, you can insert it into another lecture to create a link.

Step 1: Fill in the link scheme

How to find the required values for the link scheme:

Lecture path

  1. Open the respective course.
  2. In the course overview, click on the lecture to which you want to link.
  3. On the lecture page, click on the Copy icon 1656885522218a.svg under Lecture path.

  4. Insert the lecture path into the link scheme, e.g.

    href="https://mycourses.mydigibiz24.com/examplecourse/introduction/welcome-to-the-course"

Course UUID

  1. Open the respective course.
  2. In the course overview, click on the lecture to which you want to link.
  3. On the lecture page, copy the value after /courses/ from the address bar of your browser.

    data-course-uuid="e361854f-84de-4dc8-b50c-a2b1cac54b4a"

Lecture UUID

  1. Open the respective course.
  2. In the course overview, click on the lecture to which you want to link.
