Folder FAQ

I have a folder with linked files in. How do I display it on Moodle?

• Select "file" from "Add a resource".
• Follow the instructions for uploading a folder from your computer here. (Note:You can upload zipped folders to the file module.
• Click on the name of your unzipped folder to get inside it.
• Click the icon to the right of your index.html file or the file you want to start displaying your linked files from
• Click "set main file" This ensures this file is the one that appears on the course page for students to click on.
