MoodleDownloader

A chrome extension for batch downloading Moodle resources.




  

    

  

  

    

  

  

    

  



## Installation 💻

Install the latest version of MoodleDownloader from the [Chrome Web Store](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/moodle-downloader/ohhocacnnfaiphiahofcnfakdcfldbnh).

Alternatively, if you prefer installing it manually, the latest archive can be found [here](https://github.com/harsilspatel/MoodleDownloader/releases/latest).

## 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!

## GIFs 🎞

### Without MoodleDownloader 😩

~38 seconds to download 10 files



### With MoodleDownloader 🤩

~11 seconds to download 21 files









#### Motivation 💡

Realised in the week 11 that I don't have most of the resources 😭
