Compressed Zip Folder

Q. 

How do I create a zip folder? Can I combine several files into a folder to put in Tlearn? How do I unzip a compressed folder? What is a compressed folder?

A. 

Folders that are compressed using the Compressed (zipped) Folders feature use less drive space and can be transferred to other computers more quickly. You can work with a compressed folder and the files or programs it contains just as you would an uncompressed folder. You can identified a compressed folder by the zipper on the folder icon. Zipped folders can compress files, programs, or other folders by dragging them to it.

The Moodle system will not allow us to drag and drop or add folders into our courses so we compress those folders to be inserted into our courses. Read on to learn how to create a zipped folder on a Mac and a PC.
