Presentation / Features

Display links to others courses according three display types for now: - Card: links to courses will be display as cards with their own course image. - List : links to courses will be listed one below the other. - Navigation menu: links to courses will be displayed on a menu where each course will be a menu item.

Be careful, a link is displayed only for users with access rights to this course (unless you force the display in the form) !
Besides when you want to add a resource only courses you manage will be displayed in the form (filter on the moodle/role:assign "Assign roles to users" capability).

You can also choose the way to display to linked course: in a new window, a new tab...
