Moodle: Download Course Content

Download course content allows Moodle Files, Folders, Pages, and Labels to be fully downloaded in a zip file. For all other activities and resources only the activity name and the description would be part of the download file. This feature must be enabled at the site level before the activity level settings take effect. The setting has no effect on mobile app content download for offline usage.

It is recommended to set this up in a Blueprint course or prior to student enrollment to review the download zip file contents. The zip file is limited to 50MB. If larger files need to be shared with the class please consider using one if the cloud storage options available and then using their share link in Moodle.
