Moodle courses

Findle is a free, open-source app that syncs Moodle and Open LMS course files to Finder. If you use it, Folio shows your courses in its sidebar, ready to read and ask about.

Connect#

Until Findle is set up, the sidebar has a Connect Moodle row:

• Without Findle, it offers Get Findle.
• With Findle installed but not set up, it offers Open Findle. Sign in to Moodle there and pick your courses.

Once Findle has synced, the courses appear under Moodle. If Folio picks the wrong Findle folder, choose Change… next to Courses in Settings › Moodle.

To hide the row, choose Hide from Sidebar, or turn off Show in sidebar in Settings › Moodle.

Read-only#

Course files belong to Findle, so Folio never renames, moves, or deletes them. To keep your own copy, right-click a file and choose Copy to My Documents.

Files not yet downloaded#

Findle lists course files before downloading them. Folio shows those as Not downloaded and doesn't read them in the background, since reading would download them. Open a file, or right-click and choose Download, to fetch it.
