Bulk upload Course and content

Hi,
I have a bunch of resources with links to documents pdf's and scorm packages.  I would like to create a course in moodle with single resource(pdf, doc or scorm) in moodle. Is there a quick way to achieve this through a csv file or something?

Thanks.

At this time, I do not believe so. This is a frequent request so perhaps there is something in development, but I understand it is very difficult to link bulk uploads to specific courses. One possible alternative is to create a repository, drop all the materials you have there, and in your course, just create links to the repository. Never tried it myself, but I understand it is one solution.

If I had url to resources how would I still be able to create courses quickly? Wouldn't I still have to manually go in and add the url's in the course?

Hi Mahendra

It is an odd coincidence, only this week I have notice that there is an exodus of webmasters from "on-line" web tools like WordPress to off-line tools like Jekyll https://jekyllrb.com/, Hugo https://gohugo.io/, etc. Just think of it, WML (Web Site Meta Language) http://www.thewml.org/ was the state of art two decades ago!

Back to the topic: I haven't come across a way to prepare a static file which will generate a Moodle course.

In an online development moodle create a course with whatever resources desired.  On that instance turn on LTI tool (provider).    On other instances of Moodle, use the LTI tool ... provide the LTI info from the LTI provider course .... then one has one link in 'other Moodle' that gets *all* the content in the LTI provider dev moodle.

Am sure you'd have to tinker with it .... IF the LTI provider server/course is nothing but resources ... links to PDF files, DocX's and other (would think twice about doing video's with that ... Moodle has never made a good video streaming server).

Something like that might provide what you seek.
