Do you use a Class Share network folder to store files that are too large for Moodle? Do you want to link to those files in Moodle? You can do it! Here’s how:

1. Select the “Link to a file or web site” option under the “Add a Resource” drop down menu in Moodle.
2. Give the resource a Name.
3. In the Location field, type:

   ftp://curtis.lawrence.edu/Class_Share/PATH_TO_YOUR_FILE

   replacing PATH_TO_YOUR_FILE with the appropriate folders and/or file name.

The browser will present a login screen and then you’ll be able to access the files as though they were actually in Moodle.

Voyager has a new form that will allow you to create your own Moodle course, on demand! Class Share folders and iTunes U courses can also be requested through the form. The new feature is integrated into Voyager’s “Classes Taught & Scheduled” page. Additional details are outlined here:
