Getting the edu-sharing plugin


for users without access to their Moodle server but with moodle admin rights (the option we recommend)

If you don't have access to your Moodle directory (like most people using hosted Moodle installations) you can install the edu-sharing plugins for Moodle from the official Moodle plugin repository.

https://moodle.org/plugins/index.php?q=edu-sharing

For the full edu-sharing experience we suggest you install all edu-sharing plugins.


  • The edu-sharing activity plugin has to be installed since the other plugins rely on it. It adds a new option to the activities/resource menu. Using the edu-sharing resource allows you to either pick content from the repository or upload it to a folder of the repository.
  • The edu-sharing editor tiny plugin adds the option to embed all kinds of edu-sharing content to all WYSIWYG fields. We suggest you use this one as atto will not be supported as of moodle 4.6.
  • The edu-sharing editor atto plugin adds the option to embed all kinds of edu-sharing content to all WYSIWYG fields.
  • The edu-sharing filter displays edu-sharing content embedded in WYSIWYG fields using the editor plugin.

  • The edu-sharing workspace block adds a button taking you to the edu-sharing workspace and the edu-sharing search engine.

for users with access to the Moodle server and good knowledge of server administration

You will need the following packages in order to use the edu-sharing moodle integration:


Rename the paths of the downloaded and extracted folders to 'edusharing' and copy them to the following directories in Moodle:

  • the edu-sharing plugin: /moodle/mod/edusharing/
  • the edu-sharing filter: /moodle/filter/edusharing/
  • the edu-sharing tiny plugin: {your/moodle/dirroot}/lib/editor/tiny/plugins/edusharing
  • the edu-sharing atto plugin: /moodle/lib/editor/atto/plugins/edusharing/
  • the edu-sharing "workspace button": /moodle/blocks/edusharing-workspace/
