Use drag and drop to add an image and document to a course page

If you are able to edit a course page you will be able to add files to it using drag and drop. To use drag and drop you will need to be using a compatible internet browser, for example Google Chrome or Internet Explorer 11.  You can drag and drop from any Windows Explorer window, including the Windows Explorer view of the Staff Portal.  Ask Liz if you need help setting up a shortcut to your Staff Portal files.

To add files using drag and drop:

1. Turn editing on and make sure the section you want to add content is open.
2. Go to the start button on your computer and select Documents to open the Windows Explorer window and then navigate to a window that displays the document/image you want to add.
3. Arrange the Windows Explorer window and the course page side by side on your screen (see screenshot below) and then drag a document or image from the Windows Explorer window towards the Add an activity or resource link on your course page. Drop the file when an add files here link appears.
   Note: If you are adding an image you will be asked whether you want to add the image to the course page or create file resource (link to the picture).
4. Once you have added a document or image you can then move it to a different position on the course page.
