Accessing videos that are saved in the server of Moodle

Accessing videos that are saved in the server of Moodle

Hi,

I have found a Moodle course for teaching Scratch.  Have imported it into MoodleCloud (https://anthonyorme.moodlecloud.com/) but when I try to export and import into my schools own Moodle it won't due to the original course being created in a 2.8 and the school Moodle is 2.6,  Attached are error messages to show what it says,

I have decided to recreate the course manually,  but there are videos that are stored on the server of the Moodle that I cannot seem to download.  Is there a way to download these videos easily?  Attached is a picture to show what I mean?

Anthony

Attached are the two images of where I can see the videos on the Moodle server, but would like to get these off.  They are attached to the course through hyperlinks

 Edit - if this is the course from the Computing at Schools site then the videos are zipped up into a folder on there for anyone having trouble - could you retrieve them from there again? (I just checked)

I'm a bit confused -the screenshot you are showing with the video scratch intro.avi - is that of the old school Moodle? If so then can you make a course ( ;) )on the old school Moodle and retrieve the videos as files  -ie, by turning on the editing, selecting 'File' and then searching Server files to find and choose the relevant video - and then when it displays on your new course page, could you then download it to  re-upload into your new course?

Or have I misunderstood the nature of the problem?

Hi Anthony

> I have found a Moodle course for teaching Scratch. Have imported it into moodlecloud (https://anthonyorme.moodlecloud.com/)

So the above site works as it should?

> but when I try to export and import into my schools own Moodle it won't due to the original course being created in a 2.8 and the school Moodle is 2.6, Attached are error messages to show what it says,

Did you try the "Continue" button? In many cases Moodle can just import newer courses.
