STEP 2: "Adding" Your File to Moodle for "submitting" to your assignment or forum

Type a name for your file in the assignment "Online text" field, in an Assignment, or in the "Message" field in a Forum'
Note: Make your name meaningful, say "Presentation on Geriatric Nursing Care" rather than "my presentation".

Select (highlight) the text name of your file in the "Online text" or "Message" field as depicted below.

Click on the "insert/edit link"  (first chain link icon - arrow depicted above)  and the Insert/edit Link box  should display.
