If you uploaded the file to the file manager with the same name as a previous file then the file WILL be overwritten.
However, due to the way in which Microsoft Windows temporarily stores online files the file will appear to you to have gone unchanged. Everyone else can see the updated file, but you will not until you clear your temporary files.  To test this you can either clear the browser cache and delete temporary internet files, or try accessing the file on a different computer.

To upload multiple documents, simply zip them together and upload them as one file. Once the Zip file is uploaded, click the "unzip" action in your file directory.

To learn how to upload a file, please see the materials in our Faculty Guide located here:

There are two ways to add ONCORES readings to your Moodle Course. You can choose to post one link in your Moodle course that takes students to a list of all your ONCORES readings (master list), or you can post individual links for each reading in different topic areas of your course. First we will address how to add a link to your "Master" reading list, as this is needed in your course no matter which approach you take.

1. Open the file in Gallery that you intend to link to Moodle. This is done by clicking the link that says "No thumbnail"
2. Copy the URL of the file. This is done differently depending on the browser you are using.
Mozilla Firefox 2.0: Right click on the "Download" link and select "Copy File Location"
Internet Explorer 7.0: Right click on the "Download" link and select "Properties" Now highlight and copy the link displayed in the Address sub-section. (Control+C to copy)

The "advanced upload of files" assignment type does not permit re-submission after grading -
once the assignment is submitted for grading, the upload form is no longer provided to the student.

This is a known issue, which will be fixed in a later version of Moodle. There are tentative plans to upgrade for Fall 2008; definite plans will be posted here as they come.

If there is an _ or a . in the file name, this can cause the link to break.
You will need to rename your files. You can do so by entering the control panel and clicking the files link. From here, scroll down until you see the file listed. To the right there will be a "rename" link.
Click this, rename the file and remove the _ and . Save changes, and the link will be updated to work.

If you uploaded the file to the file manager with the same name as a previous file then the file WILL be overwritten. The new file is displaying for everyone else but you.
