Starting a blended learning course

Using the Editor and general tips

Linking to files

In addition to hyperlinks to Moodle or web resources, you can also upload and link to files. These might include a PDF copy of a book, forms that need filling out, etc.

For example, click here to open a PDF of this eBook.

  • Select the text to become the link.
  • Click the Link button on the editor toolbar.
  • Click "Open in new Window" then click Browse Repositories.

Repositories are where all files for yourself, the current resource, course and even site are to be found. There are some special repositories which may be available such as Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.

For now, only two matter:


  • Embedded files contains all the files already uploaded to the current resource, in this case an eBook.
  • Upload a file allows you to do exactly that.
