Moodle at Wesleyan

Add multiple files or folders to your course

Notes

The easiest way to add multiple files or folders to a course page is to zip them and then drag the .zip file onto the course page just as you would do with any other file. Moodle will ask you whether you want to unpack the .zip on the server and present the contents as a folder.

Tip

Zipping techniques vary by operating system, but in general you start by right- or control-clicking on the folder you want to zip. On a Mac you should see an option to "Compress ," and on Windows you can choose "Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder."
