Creating a group (folder) for resources

Create a new folder/group via the New group icon in the header toolbar.
Select the tick box next to the "Ungrouped resources" to show all in this group
Drag and drop - tick the box/es of the resource/s to move, then click on the cross of the very right hand side – and drag the resource/s (which will have become highlighted in green) to the folder/group. Alternatively, you can click on the Move to icon in the header toolbar and choose which folder to move your selected resources to.

To Delete a group/folder

You can delete a folder by selecting the rubbish bin icon. It will not delete your resources, only the folder, and your resources will move back into the ungrouped folder.

Place Learning Resource links throughout your Moodle Unit

Placing resource links through out your course content

Wherever you see the Editing bar you can place a Resource Link using the Learning Resources icon in the toolbar - in Moodle i.e. Books, Lessons, Topics. This makes the resource available at the point of need for your students. Also, it makes the link managed from the central Resources List in your course. If you ever need to change the URL for the resource you can alter it in the Resources list, and all the Resource Links will also be updated.

1. Turn editing on in Moodle, and add a 'Label' to the area in Moodle that you wish to add the Resources Link to.

2. Select 'edit' option in the Label, (or Topic, or Book etc) to open the toolbar (the Learning Resources tool will be visible as below).

3. ** IMPORTANT** Place your cursor at the point where you would like the Resources Link inserted in your content.

3. Select the Course Readings icon to open your list.

4. Select the list your require (most courses should have only one list attached).

5. Select the tickbox next to the resource you wish to place, scroll up and SUBMIT

Select Create

Deleting Resource Links

To delete a Resource Link, make sure you are editing the topic/book/page, place your cursor after the block of text which includes the resource, and either backspace or delete. This does not delete your resource from the Resource List, only this link.
