Adding a file

Q.

How do I add a document, PDF, or image so students can see them? How do I add a file for my students to download?

A.

Any file you have on your computer can be added to your TLEARN course so students can access it. This allows you to post a syllabus, worksheets, PowerPoint presentations, study guides, movies, etc. Anything that you might have printed to give to them in the past can now be posted so they can download it.

1. Click the Edit Mode button to turn ON, in the upper right side of your screen.

2. Scroll to the section of the course where you want to add resource and click on Add a resource or activity. 

3. Select the File option and click Add. 

 

4. Add a Name and Description to the resource. The text you enter for the name is what students will click on to access the file.

 

*Instructors have the option to Display description on course page.

5. Click the Add button in the Content area to open the File Picker window.

6. Use the File Picker to select the file to upload in the folder. 

* On the left side there are links that represent optional sources for uploading a file to Moodle. 

You can sure for media files from URL downloader and Wikimedia.

7. Click on Upload a file on the left side to get a file from your local computer. 

8. Click on the Browse...button to search for the file on your computer.

9. After you have selected the file, click it and then click Open button. 

10. Click the Upload this file button. 

11. The file name/icon will appear in the content area.

* Set additional options. The only option I would implement is to change Display to Force download. When link is clicked the user will have a copy downloaded to their computer.
