 In this video we're going to explore Moodle's file picker and how you can use it. You might see the file picker if you upload a file using the activity chooser or if you're in the text editor and you want to add an image by clicking the image icon or a media file such as sound or video by clicking the Moodle media icon. If we click to add a file we will see the file picker by clicking the add button when we go down to content. What you see down the left side are links which are known as repositories and each of these are places where you can retrieve files to display on your course. The one you'll use most often is upload a file. This will allow you to access your documents from your computer or your pen drive. Server files are the other files which you have access to as a teacher in Moodle. So for example if you were teaching grade 1 English and you wanted to add a file that you had used in grade 2 English you would go to server files to find it. Recent files shows you the last few files that you have uploaded and it's context sensitive. This means that Moodle knows if you want to upload an image through the image icon it will only show you images. If you want to upload a sound file using the media icon it will only show you media files. URL downloader allows you to add a web link and it will download for you the images on that site. Private files allows you to retrieve from your private files files which you have uploaded for storage earlier and in a separate video we've looked at this. Other links or repositories will appear according to what your administrator has enabled. So for example you could go to wikimedia if you wanted to add an image and you could search for an image with a particular size there. The files in the file picker can be displayed in three different ways. If we click recent files we can see how this works. If you look at the top right we can see them as a tree like this. We can display them with the details of their size and type and last modified or we can click the third icon and we can display them as icons showing what type of file they are. For example this is a PowerPoint presentation and these are PDFs.
