Review Asset Guidelines

Use the guidelines below for naming assets you upload into the CCS.

• Use only lowercase characters.
• Do not use any special characters.
• Do not use any spaces. If you need to separate words, use underscores (_) instead of spaces.
• File names should not include more than 50 characters.
• File descriptions should not include more 500 characters.

• Use .jpg or .jpeg format (recommended) for photographic images that are not greater than 300 kilobytes per megapixel.
• These files (.jpg or .jpeg) should have a resolution of 320 pixels x 240 pixels or less, saved at 80% quality level.
• Use .gif format for non-photographic illustrations.
• Do not use .png, .bmp, or .tiff file formats for image assets in the CCS.

• Use .mp3 files (recommended): 22KHz, 16 bit, 24 kbps, monophonic.
• We do not recommend using .wav files due to their large size.

• Utilize Flash video (.flv) files for maximum compatibility and best bandwidth usage.
• Recommended file size is 10 MB.
• Files should have a resolution of at least 320×240 (preferably higher/larger).
• Files should be at least 10 FPS (preferably higher).
• We recommend that final embedded video clips should not be longer than 5 minutes each.
• Video clips should be embedded within a Flash .swf (best reliability). This format releases the learner’s PC resources once the Flash content is closed.

Use SCORM version 1.2 for LMS communication.

All courses should be built to a maximum 1024 x 768 pixel resolution.

• PC (recommended): Windows XP, 2000 or Vista; IE7+ or Firefox 2.0+
• MAC: Panther or Leopard; Firefox

• Ensure your courseware properly displays non-English characters on the platforms stated above. However, you cannot edit double-byte languages such as Mandarin Chinese.
• Compile your Flash content at a minimum player version of Flash 8.
