Adding Resources to Moodle

Files in folders are listed in alphanumeric order. To make the files appear in a particular order for your students, you will need to rename the files.

One option is to add numbers in front of the file names, for example:

       01-handout.pdf

       02-reading.pdf

       03-spreadsheet.xlsx

       04-instructions.docx

To rename files already in a Moodle Folder:

Step 1: Locate the folder you want to configure and click Edit, and from the drop-down menu, click Edit settings. The Updating Folder page will open.

Step 2: Under Content, in the Files area, open any sub-folders as needed. To rename a file, click the File icon. A pop-up window will open.

Step 3: In the Name field, edit the name, then click Update. The pop-up will close, and the Files area will show the new file name.

Note: DO NOT remove or change the file extension (e.g., .pdf, or .docx). A proper file extension is required for the file to download and open for your students.

Step 4: Rename any other files and click Save and return to course.
