1. Log into Moodle and select the course that you wish to add a file.
2. Toggle On Edit Mode (this is located on the top right side of your Moodle course.)
3. Find the Module you wish to add the File. You will click “Add an activity or resource.”
5. Once the Add an activity or resource box appears, select “file”
6. You will be brought to a page that will allow you to add your resource file. This feature will allow you to upload multiple file types – Word documents, PowerPoints, Excel files, music, videos, and even images.
First you must name your file. Next, you will add a file by selecting the add icon in the Select Files section or drag-and-drop the file in the content box. Both methods will provide the same results. *Please note, if you select the folder icon you can add multiple files. This helps organize your files by topic, chapter, or even by week.
7. If you choose to select “add”, you will need to browse to your file location. Make sure that “upload a file” has been selected on the left hand side. Select “Choose File”. Browse to where the file is located (on your PC, on a jump drive, etc). Select the file and choose open. Once you have selected the correct file, you will click the purple “upload this file” button.
**Note** If you utilize the drag-and-drop feature, you will open your library that shows your file. You will select the file with your mouse and drag into the content box. The file will automatically add itself.
8. One the file has been loaded, you have one adjustment left to make. Under the appearance tab, you will see a drop down box located next to “display.” It is recommended to change this option from open to “in pop up.” This allows any files that you upload to be opened in a separate window instead of it opening directly in the class.
9. Double check that you have named and uploaded the correct file. Once complete, select “save and return to course” located at the bottom of the page.
10. Once you toggle off Edit Mode, you can find the file, click the file and will notice the pop-up window.
