2.2.6 Consider all constrains related to resource usage: Viewing resource

معاينة

This lesson explores constrains that you should keep in mind when working with existing resources, like for instance file format and size.

1. Introduction

1.2. Viewing resource

Depending on the resource format and the settings you chose for the resource, it will be either display directly in Moodle or will have to be downloaded by the learner and played locally.

Formats which will be viewable directly in Moodle:

Text: PDF
Images: JPEG, PNG, GIF, Animated GIF
Videos (Flowplayer): SWF, FLV
Audio: MP3

Other formats will have to be downloaded and open outside of the Moodle environment. In that case you should consider using formats that are commonly supported by different commercial and open-source applications.
