Importing and exporting in/out of Moodle - Google Docs

This is an example of an imported document from Google Docs, a popular external repository of content. 

To see how School Demo works with importing from and exporting to Google Docs, you will need to login with your own Google account (create one if needed). 

Similarly, you will need an account with other external repositories enabled on School Demo (eg. Alfresco, Box.net, Picasa ...)

Don’t have any of those? 

No problem. Try to upload a file using ‘Flickr public’ - no account needed.

For the record ...

Moodle 2.0 supports direct import of files from a number of external repositories.
Moodle 2.0 also supports direct exporting (publishing) to a range of external portfolios.  

This makes storing, importing and exporting material in and out of Moodle much simpler and more powerful than in its previous versions.

Less files in Moodle itself (faster Moodle), less download/upload, easier sharing ... and more.
