Tip: You can use the Cite option in the Tools Menu to locate the APA citation (or other, appropriate style) to include in your course. (The Cite icon is a set of quotation marks.) While you may need to edit the citation, it provides a solid start. Including the citation provides an additional way for students to access the resource should the course link fail.
