Tech Tip of the Week: Drag and Drop Files into Moodle
Remember how tedious it was to add a file resource to your Moodle page? So many steps - and then, if you wanted to edit your Word file, you had to delete it and re-upload.
In the new version of Moodle, all you need to do is open your file library, find the file you want, and drag it onto your Moodle page. It pops right in to your page! Deleting is easier too, since you don't have to delete both the link and the file.
