# Moodle Instructions for Teaching Staff: File Upload

This source provides a procedural guide for teaching staff at the Universität Greifswald on how to add files to their Moodle courses.

## Key Procedures
- **Activating Editing Mode**: Modifications to a course require the "Editing Mode" (Bearbeitungsmodus) to be active, which can be enabled via the "Administration" block or the toggle button in the top right corner.
- **Adding Files**:
    - **Drag&Drop**: Files can be dragged from a local directory (e.g., desktop) directly into the browser and dropped into the desired course section.
    - **Manual Addition**: Files can be added via the "Add an activity or resource" (Aktivität oder Material anlegen) menu, which allows for the definition of additional properties for the file.

## Technical Limitations
- **Folder Uploads**: Drag&Drop does not support the upload of entire folders or file collections.
- **Structured Storage**: To maintain a folder structure within Moodle, instructors must use the "Directory" (Verzeichnis) resource available in the activity/resource menu.

## Support
Technical issues are handled by the [[universitatsrechenzentrum-urz]] via the [[groupware]] ticket system or the URZ hotline (ext. 1420).
