Another way to upload many files into Moodle 2

2013/12/04 Leave a comment
  1. Last time we started from “Add folder” to get to the handy drag-and-drop file upload control in Moodle 2.
  2. This time we do not want to create a new folder, but work within an existing folder (better for categorizing lots of files).
  3. Browse into the folder and click edit

  5. click create folder

  7. add name and click create

  9. click to open folder

  13. oops, check the upper right warning :

  15. Split your files into smaller segments

  17. And be patient, there is no visual indicator of progress, or any action, after the drop), or else you get duplicates:

  19. Just delete duplicates you might have created:

  22. click on each zip file and choose “unzip”:

  26. Delete the zip files (not needed anymore)

  28. Finally, click “save changes”

  31. Note, by working within a folder, you cannot link directly to the new folder you created.  It should however be easy enough to navigate to it if you send the link to the root folder, here “Interaction”.

How to upload a folder with many files in Moodle 2–the ultimate training

  1. …using animated .gifs. Different speed? 0.25sec,0.5sec, 0.75sec, 1sec, , 2sec, 3sec, 4sec, 5sec, 6sec, 7sec, 8sec, 9sec, 10sec. 1.5sec
  2. And the answer is: You now can simply drag-and-drop a zip file  (provided you are using a recent web browser). Start with “Turn editing on”, “Add resource”, “Folder”, and then proceed like so:
  3. Easy enough, but you can still save time: If your folder is reusable not only between terms, but also teachers (sections etc.), I suggest doing this in our Moodle metacourses (once).
  4. If you want to use an existing instead of adding a new folder, a slightly different way to manage your multiple files upload in Moodle 2 is described here.
