08. Dragging and dropping files in Moodle 3.3 Video Lecture | Moodle: Create Personalized Online Class - Professional Skills

Dragging and dropping files into Moodle.
There are two ways to a document such as
presentations or word processed files to your
Moodle course .
One way is by simply
dragging them and dropping them straight
on to your course page, we look at that here.
The second way is by using Moodle's
activity chooser and file picker and we
look at that in a later video.
Both ways need the editing to be turned on
from
the link in the gear menu, then if your
browser shows you a message saying that
you can drag and drop files this means
you're able to use the drag and drop method.
If you don't see that
ask your administrator for help.
Over on the right I have a presentation, lecture
notes
and in order to add it to Moodle I
simply need to choose a section where I want
it.
Here for instance I'd like the
lecture notes in the listening section.
So I place the cursor on the
presentation, click onto it hold it and
simply drag it to where I want.
The dotted box will appear and then it will
automatically be uploaded
and if you make a mistake
remember that we can move it either by
drag-and-drop or if we have a very long
course page by clicking on the move icon
and choosing where we wanted to go.
For instance here from the Listening section
into the rRading section.
It's possible to drag-and-drop several files
at the same time if you click and select
all of them you can drag them all into
your course page together.
Also if you put your files into a folder
you can drag the whole folder in.
But first it's important that you compress
or zip the folder as you can see here
then when you drop it in you are prompted
to unzip it and this will then display
the folder with your files inside.
