New Video Encoding Format

Starting summer 2009, all encoded videos (from video projects or encoded classes) are offered in flash (.flv) format. The flash video viewing is more versatile and only requires the free Adobe Flash browser plugin, which can be downloaded from Adobe.com. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at 282-5880 or itrc@isu.edu.

July Moodle Tip - File and Folder Name Conventions in Moodle

To avoid problems, type in the word "and" instead of using an ampersand "&" when naming files and folders. Other symbols that should be avoided are: $, @, /, \, <, >, *, ^, %, #.

Naming conventions on the web work best if you keep them short and simple. Use dashes "-" and underscores "_" for best results.

Any spaces in the names will automatically be replaced with an underscore "_".

Happy Moodling. :-)
