An extremely easy way
to get video and files into Moodle
This method uses OneDrive, which is a cloud-based storage
solution that comes with Microsoft Office. Everyone at Tech has one Terabyte of
space for storage through OneDrive. Below is a simple tutorial for getting the
content from your computer to OneDrive:

Log into Outlook from a web browser.
2.
Click the
3x3 grid of dots in the upper left corner next to the Montana Tech Logo.

Select
OneDrive, which is the cloud icon on the first row.
4.
If you have not used OneDrive before, click
through the advertisement.

You will now see your storage.
6.
There are at least two ways to get your content
into OneDrive.
a.
The easiest is to simply locate your content on
your computer and drag the file to the open OneDrive window.

You can also use the upload button at the top of
the OneDrive page to navigate to your content and upload it.
7.
When your content is uploaded you will see a box
appear at the top of the screen with a button titled Share Link. Click this button.

in Montana Tech with this link and uncheck the Allow editing button. This assures that no one edits the content
that you are sharing.
