Most of the courses in my university are written in docbook or DITA format. Is there an easy way using those formats with moodle without converting them into pdf or doc?

Hi

If you can convert them into decent HTML "mini sites" you can serve them from Moodle. Zip a mini site, upload to Moodle, unpack there and link a resource to the directory or the index file.

Sorry, it might sound a little bit stupid, however upload where exactly? How to unpack a .zip file in Moodle? Will it be a resource for a moodle course or an actual course itslef?

Hi Mikhail

You didn't mention the Moodle version. The doc Mary posted is for 2.x:
- http://docs.moodle.org/20/en/File_module_settings
- http://docs.moodle.org/21/en/File_module_settings
- http://docs.moodle.org/22/en/File_module_settings
- http://docs.moodle.org/23/en/File_module_settings

For 1.x it was pretty straight forward. I need to do something similar. Will post the steps soon. In the mean time, if any body knows a source already, pl. post it here!
