Procedure

1. Toggle Edit Mode On: 

2. Under the topic that you want to upload a document, click on “add an activity or resource”.

3. Select the "Resources" tab in the pop-up window and choose “file” 

4. Give your document a title in the section called “name”.  

• Each item that is uploaded in Moodle can have a description. If you check that radio button called “display description on course page” right below the description box, then your document will be uploaded with a description visible on the main page.  

• If the description is too long, then it is better not to display it on the main page because the main page would look too busy and crowded.  

• Above the description box you have all the editing tools that you have in a word document. 

5. You can add a file or a folder under the section “Select files”, which will open a box to select your file from its source. 

• Alternatively, you can drag and drop the file or folder into the larger section with the blue arrow. 

6. In the appearance section, you can choose how your document will display - new window, force download, and in pop-up are the preferred display methods.

7. Make sure you click on “save and return to course”.

Note: Please remember to upload current files. An uploaded file cannot be changed without uploading the entire document over again.
