Description

The Moodle Book tool can be used to organize different types of related resources across separate pages, to function like a book.

When you open the book, be sure to open the secondary menu navigation on the right side of the page.

This provides a different way to navigate through the pages, in addition to the next and previous buttons.

Students can download or print chapters of the book. However, keep in mind that for certain media (e.g. embedded videos) they won't appear in a downloaded book so a hyperlink to the video would need to be included too.

2. Adding Files

You can add files in a book by:

  1. Typing the title of the file
  2. Highlighting it
  3. Clicking the link icon 
  4. Click the browse repositories button
  5. Click the upload a file option
  6. Upload your file

This is how it displays: Test PDF (opens in the same tab) or Test PDF (opens in a new tab)

3. Adding Videos

You can embed videos in a book a few different ways. We recommend using the embed code from video streaming platforms like YouTube and then pasting it using the HTML button.
This way, captions are included in the video player.
