What is a permalink?
A permalink permits you to provide a link that directly brings you to a section of your course page which allows easy access to particular content on Moodle. This can be effective if you send an email to students with instructions to a video, blog entry or forum post in a specific course section, which could be linked directly in the email through a permalink.
