2.2.6 Consider all constrains related to resource usage
This lesson explores constrains that you should keep in mind when working with existing resources, like for instance file format and size.
2. Example
2.1. PDF - Course Calendar
A PDF is a good format to make sure that the formatting remains the same for everyone. Moreover it is a good choice when you want to transmit information.
Furthermore, it is one of the formats, unlike MS PowerPoint or World for example, that can be viewed inside Moodle. PDF is editable only with a special commercial software, like Adobe Acrobat Pro. And even if the learner has a specialised software, the editing is not an easy process. The same is valid for the copying of the text.
Some PDFs are more like images or password protected, and text cannot be copied. That is why for re-usability reasons, PDF format is not the meant for collaborative contributions.
