Moodle Educators – Allow the students to download course content easily for offline use

Moodle LMS is one of the most feature rich and flexible open-source Learning Management System. It allows you to completely customize and add new features via Plugins to meet the institution specific demands. In this post, we will see how you can setup your Moodle course to be easily downloaded by your students for offline use.

The Download course content feature was offered for the first time in Moodle 3.10. The new feature development was contributed by Moodle User’s Association.

By enabling this download course content feature, specific course items, currently content from the File, Folder, Page, and Label can be downloaded by students. They can use these files for offline consumption.

This feature needs to be enabled by the site admin and then must be used by the educators to let their students download the course content. When it is enabled, the students will see a Download Course Content button on the top right corner. Clicking the button will display a pop-up and link to a zipped file.

Here is a screencast showing how to use this feature in Moodle:

Downloading content from their online courses also enables learners to browse this content offline, without having to be permanently connected to the internet. Teachers, of course, can also download their own course materials to access outside of Moodle.
