Moodle 2: Activities & Resources: Uploading Documents Within a File Resource

[Return to Blocks Overview]

Uploading Documents Within a File Resource

Files can be uploaded within the Content section of a File resource. These files can be accessed by your students when they click the link to the resource. This differs from uploading files into your Private Files Area, because files within the resource cannot be accessed or linked from other resources or courses.
 

To create a File or Folder resource:

1. Click the Edit button in the upper right side of your screen.




2. Click the Add a resource pull-down menu in any content area of your course.

3. Select the File option. This will open the Edit/Update page for the new resource.

4. Fill in the Name field. (This text will appear as the link to the file on your Moodle courses front page.)


 

5. Click the Add button in the Content area to open the File Picker window.

6. Click the Upload a file button on the left side of the window.


 

7. Click on the Browse... button to search for the file on your computer.

8. After you have selected the file, click on the Upload this file button.

9. Click on the Save and return to course button at the bottom of the page.
