Uploading Past Papers & Solutions

Adding to an Existing Folder

Go to the relevant course, such as:

Click the appropriate folder.

Click the "Edit" button.

To upload files to a single folder

Use the file browser to browse to the relevant subfolder (or use "Create folder" to create one).

Drag-and-drop the files from Explorer onto the folder to upload them. (Or alternatively, click the "Add" icon and use the "Upload a file" form to upload them one-by-one.)

Click "Save changes".

To upload multiple subfolders at once

If you need to upload multiple files and retain the directory structure, do the following instead:

In Explorer, navigate to the top level that you want to upload.

Select the files/subfolders you want to include, e.g. by pressing Ctrl+A (select all) or holding Ctrl and clicking each in turn.

Right-click any of the highlighted files/folders, then click 7-Zip > Add to "<name>.zip". Wait until it generates that file.

Drag-and-drop the zip file from Explorer onto the folder in Moodle to upload it.

Right-click the zip file in Moodle, then click "Unzip". This will add the files/subfolders to Moodle.

Right-click the zip file in Moodle again, then click "Delete" then "Yes".

Click "Save changes".

Delete the zip file from Explorer.

Creating a New Folder

Go to the relevant course.

Make sure "Edit mode" is enabled in the top-right corner.

Click the "Add an activity or resource" link in the relevant section.

Click "Folder".

Enter the folder Name.

Upload files/subfolders as required (see above).

Under "Common module settings", set "Availability" to "Show" or "Hide" as appropriate.

If the folder should be limited to a specific cohort, expand "Restrict access" and configure as appropriate.

Click "Save and display".

Creating a New Course

If the existing courses are not suitable, please talk to IT Support before creating a new one so we can set the appropriate permissions and update our documentation if needed.
