  references and citations

  We are currently setting up a course with ATutor and have the following question:
  
  Is there any possibility to cite resources in the reading list, e.g. by making a link to a resource from the content?
  
  For example, I want to write in the content:
  "Researchers have found out that... (Stone, 2008)", where "Stone, 2008" should refernce a book in the reading list. I would like to make a link here to make it easier for the student to jump to the appropriate resource.
  
  Has anyone experiences with this? Can anyone help me?
  
  Thanks,
  Daniela

  Re: references and citations

  You could potentially right click on the title in the reading list, copy the file location, then paste it into a link within the content. This would work fine for a single course, though it would not be interoperable if you copy the course, and import it elsewhere.
