# Creating ZIP Files

In some courses, more than one assignment may need to be uploaded at a time. To be able to do this you will need to create a ZIP file. A ZIP file is a compressed file or folder that uses less space and takes less time to be uploaded.

To create a ZIP file the following steps will need to be followed:

1. Locate the files you need to upload and then select them all. To select all files you will need to hold down the Ctrl key and then click on each file without letting go of the Ctrl key.
2. Once all files are selected right-click on one of the highlighted files and then select “Send To” and select “Compressed (zipped) Folder”.
3. This will create a new folder that is zipped (and allow you to submit just one file).
4. Upload the zipped folder into Moodle.

Below is a helpful video for completing this process:
