Being able to upload a document to an assignment is one of the most important Moodle skills to master.
Step-by-step guide
To upload a document to a Moodle assignment from your laptop:
- Login to Moodle.
- Browse to the course you are preparing the assignment for.
- Locate the assignment on the course page. Make sure you are opening the correct assignment if more than one is visible.
- In the assignment screen click on Add submission.
- To submit your file to the assignment:
- Drag and drop your assignment from your files area of your laptop OR
- Use the File select tool to locate and upload your document.
- Click the Save changes button.
- Your file should now be visible in the File submissions area in the assignment screen.
If you are having trouble uploading a document, first check that it is within the 30mb file size limit. PowerPoint files with lots of images often have this issue. Saving a larger document as a PDF may be the solution to this problem.
