Adding Resources to Moodle

Moodle allows you to post multiple files at once in a Folder. Folders can contain files such as PDFs, Word documents, or image files, but cannot contain Moodle Activities (such as Quizzes, Assignments, and Forums) or Resources (such as URLs or Pages).

§  File
Post a file for your students to download. A File can be a text document, a spreadsheet, an audio file, video file, etc.

§  Folder
To save space on your Moodle course page, you can put multiple files in a Folder.

§  IMS content package
Upload and post content packaged in the IMS format, typically from text book publishers.

§  Label
Organize and add visual interest to your course home page by using Labels to add sub-headings, annotations, and images to Topic or Weekly sections.

§  Page
Students see a single, scrollable page that an instructor creates with the robust HTML editor.

§  URL
Send your students to any location they can reach on their Web browser.

You can upload individual files or a .zip file containing several files on your computer to a Folder. You can update the folder to add additional files, rename files, or move them into sub-folders.

Note: You must first use the Activity Chooser to add a folder, as detailed below. You can then drag-and-drop files into the upload box on the Adding a new folder page. You cannot use drag-and-drop a "folder" from your computer onto your Moodle course page, but you can drag-and-drop a .zip file and opt to unzip and create a folder.
