Moodle Quickstart Guide for Faculty

Adding Files and Folders

Moodle provides an easy way for a teacher to present materials to their students. These materials may take the form of files (Word documents, PDF files, Excel spreadsheets, etc.) displayed on the page as individual items or bundled together inside folders. 

To add files to a Moodle course, you must first ensure you have to turn on the Edit mode. To do that, you have to toggle the switch located at the top right of the page:

 

You can click the link Add an activity or resource and select either File or Folder from the activity chooser.

Using a folder to display resources is neater than displaying files one by one in a list, as it takes up less space on the course page. Once you have created a folder you can still add files to it.
