Hi this is a video tutorial series about how to add content to your classes on Moodle.



Today we are going to go over how to add a text file to Moodle. Again the first step is to navigate to moodle.stmartin.edu/ and login with your user name and password

First go to your class page and make sure that editing is turned on.

Select the drop down menu that says add a resource.

Then select link to a file or website.

Make sure that you have a title at the top, this is what students will see as a link to this document.

Then scroll down and select chose or upload a file.

Next select the folder you wish to put the file in, now click browse.

Find the file that you want to upload to your Moosle and click upload this file

That file should now appear on Moodle in your files.

Select the option that says choose under the action column on the right

Now click save and return to course, and there is the docment on the page.

You can change its location on the page by selecting the two black arrows icon to the right of the link when editing features are turned on.

Next you can select any of the spaces marked with empty outlined boxes to move your item to, click on one to move the document to it's new location.

It is important to understand that what you have just made today is a link to a document. The document on your Moodle, is similar to an email attachment; if you make any changes to the original document, that you want to make to your Moodle link, you will need to reload the document.

So that's how you link a text file on to your Moodle.

Thanks for watching!
