Uploading Files

There are two main ways to upload files to your Moodle course. In addition to having individual files displayed on your main course page, you can also have Folders that contain multiple files. An example of how Folders are used is to upload PPT presentations after each class so that they are all in one place. Click on the appropriate accordion below for instructions.

Drag-And-Drop

The simplest way to upload a file to Moodle is the drag-and-drop method.

In the top right corner of your course page, click on the Edit mode button to move it to the right, which allows you to edit your page.

Once you are in Edit mode, you can use drag-and-drop to add a file to any Topic (right-click and hold the button on the file to drag, drag the file to the appropriate Topic, and let go of the right mouse button when you are there). The file will be added to the bottom of that Topic's section.
