How Do I Upload Multiple Files to CLE?

To upload multiple files to your CLE course:

1. Log in to the CLE (cle.ucsf.edu).
2. Go to the CLE course where you would like to upload a file.
3. From the Administration block or from the top-right corner of the CLE, select Turn editing on.
4. Locate the files you would like to upload on your computer.
5. If you have several files that should each be displayed on the front page of your course, highlight these files on your computer, and drag them from your computer as a batch into the correct topic section.
6. A dashed-line box will appear when you are in an area that your files can be dropped. Once this box appears, drop your files onto the course page. A progress bar will be visible while the files are uploading, and will disappear when the uploads have finished.
7. The files will each be displayed as multiple links on the front page of the course.
8. Rename the files. By default, the CLE will make the names of the links to the files the same as the file names. To change the name that displays on the course page, click the pencil icon next to a file and enter the correct name.
9. To enter a description, display options, assign groupings or restrict access, select Edit Settings from the drop-down menu next to the file.
10. Clicks the Save and return to course button

Alternatively, if you have several files that should be displayed within a folder on the front page of your course, combine any files you want to upload into a ZIP archive, and then drag and drop the ZIP archive onto your course page. In the box that appears, select either Unzip files and create folder if you want students to be able to access each of the files in the ZIP archive individually, or Create file resource if you want students to download the ZIP archive itself.
