MoodleDownloader

A chrome extension for batch downloading Moodle resources.

Installation 💻

Install the latest version of MoodleDownloader from the Chrome Web Store.

Alternatively, if you prefer installing it manually, the latest archive can be found here.

Why ⁉️

There are dozens of apps/scripts for downloading moodle resources out there, however, none of them are operable by a non-IT student. For instance, an average art student doesn't know (or doesn't even care) how to execute terminal commands to get those moodle files, therefore I decided to create an average-user-friendly tool! Additionally, this is my exercise in both improving my javascript and better understand how google analytics and chrome apis work (mostly the latter!)

Usage 🛠

1. Login in to your moodle (for example https://moodle.vle.monash.edu)
2. Open the week (section) from where you would like to download the resources from
3. Click on the extension icon and select the resources to be downloaded.
   • Click and drag or use ⌘ key to select multiple options:
4. Hit the Download button to get the resources!
