Basic Steps-Linking a Document to Moodle

Linking a document, such as your class sylabus to Moodle is relatively painless process that can be done in a few simple steps.

1.Turn on Editing on your class page

2. Use the drop-down menu "Add a Resource" to select the "Link to a File or Website" option

3. Create a Title for your document

4. Scroll down to the bottom of your page and click upload a file

5. Select the folder in Moodle where you wish to store the file

6. Browse and select the file you wish to upload from your computer

7. Click Upload this file

After a few moments, that file should appear within Moodle

8. Now, select the option that says "Choose" under the "actions" column on the right side of your screen

9. Click "save and return to course"

The Document has now been uploaded to Moodle



****IMPORTANT NOTE****
It is important to remember that when you load a document to Moodle, Moodle retains a frozen copy of the document, much like an email attachment. If you make changes to the document, for example your sylabus, you will need to reload it to Moodle if you want it to reflect those changes.
