Upload many files to Moodle at once - Use a Zip file.

Today's Moodle Monday will show you how to upload multiple files to your Moodle course files at once.

Place all the files you want to upload into the same folder.  Here you can see I have four different file types I want to upload.  They are in a folder titled "Unit 1".


Next, RIGHT CLICK on the folder and choose SEND TO and COMPRESSED (ZIPPED) FOLDER.

You will now have a new folder on your desktop (or in the same folder as the original) that has a zipper on the icon.

Log in to you Moodle Course.  Go to your files and upload a file just as you normally would, only select the Zipped folder you just created. The zipped folder will upload and appear with the rest of your files.  To extract the contents of this folder, choose UNZIP.

Moodle will create a new folder with the same name, but unzipped, in your files.

Open that folder an you will see all the files that were in the original folder on your computer.
