Adding Files
Work through the tutorials below (coming soon!). Once you have, you can use the links at the bottom of the page to learn more about the file picker and practice using it to upload files from your computer.
Three scenarios:
Adding files from your computer
This is probably the option that most people will need. Follow the first tutorial to learn how to upload and organise files from your computer.
Adding resources from an external source (YouTube, Flickr, GoogleDocs etc)
Moodle 2.0 allows you to pull in files and resources from external repository sites like YouTube, Flickr, GoogleDocs, Dropbox and more - quick, and really efficient. In the first two cases, it even allows you to search the sites for relevant material under Creative Commons licensing. The second tutorial walks you through both processes.
Adding HTML content you have created
A great way to put text-based content into your unit is via HTML - it's a much better interface for students, and gives better accessibility than PDF and Word documents. HTML is easy to create using programs like Wimba Create and iWeb, without needing to know any code (need help? TLC runs workshops on HTML content creation). There's a trick to getting it into Moodle, though - start with your zipped folder, then follow along with the third tutorial.
