Adding Resources to Moodle

4. Create a ZIP File

To upload multiple files at once using the Moodle File picker, compress the files on your computer into a .zip file. A .zip file is a file type where multiple files or folders are compressed into a single, smaller file with a ".zip" file extension. Uploading multiple files to Moodle as a .zip file can save you time because it requires less clicking.

Windows Users

In your computer's file browser, hold down the Control key as you click to select the folders or files you wish to compress. Right-click any of the selected files. In the drop-down menu that opens, scroll to the Send To option, and select Compressed (zipped) folder. A new .zip file will appear in the same directory (folder) as the files you selected. You can rename the .zip file for easier identification before uploading it to Moodle.

Mac Users

In your computer's finder, right-click (control+click) on the folder or files and select Compress. A new .zip file will appear on your computer in the same directory (folder) as the files you selected. You can rename the .zip file for easier identification before uploading it to Moodle.
