Course Resource Link Repair Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Online courses rely on external links to videos, articles and tools that break or quietly change content. Learners hit dead ends or unrelated pages. Each week this agent checks every linked resource and compares it with archived metadata such as title and length. When a link is broken or now points to unrelated content, it searches approved sources for a replacement or an accessible alternative. It checks each candidate's actual content and accessibility, rejects any that fail, and tries the next. A passing candidate goes into a staging copy of the lesson, which it tests again. The content manager publishes the change. Edge case: a link that still loads but now shows a parking page is treated as broken.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

For each failing resource it decides: repair the moved URL, find an approved alternative, or ask the editor. Candidates that are unrelated or inaccessible are rejected and the search continues.

  • Repair, replace or ask: repair moved links, replace removed content, ask when the topic changed partly.
  • Accept a candidate: only when it covers the same topic and passes accessibility.
  • Source order: publisher's own new location first, then approved alternative sources.
  • Broken: any parking page, error page or unrelated content counts as broken.

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Approved sources for replacements
  • Accessibility checks required (default captions for video, readable text, no paywall)
  • Check schedule (default weekly)
  • Metadata compared (default title, length, author)
  • Who publishes changes (default the content manager)

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Publishing lessons
  • Using unlicensed material

Hard limits

  • Approved sources only.

It stops when

  • Done: all resources pass.
  • Needs a human: no approved replacement.

An example run

What happensIn the check of October 13 a link in Module 4 still loads but now shows a domain-parking page, so the on-topic check fails. The agent finds the article on the publisher's new domain. The first candidate copy has no captions on its embedded video, so it fails accessibility. The second passes, matches the archived title, and is staged. Content manager Owen Pike publishes the fix.
