Technical guidance
The planned module representation
is available here (in PDF file)
or you can check the newsletter format
in HTML.
If you are not familiar with the HTML format you can simply create your teaching
material in your word processing application.
Don't import the graphics into your word processor file, keep the separately
(refer to the file name in the text file).
- Separate your module into files
(chapters): the more, the better.
- Don't use accented file names.
- Don't use upper case letters in
files names.
- Don't use special characters in
file names: space, comma etc. Suggested characters: letters of the English
alphabet, numbers.
- Suggested graphic file formats:
TIFF, BMP - they will be converted in the very end to JPG or PNG.
You can create links in your Word
processor or you can just mark it in your file.
How can we create links in the word processors, like Word?
- Mark the text (word, sentence)
with your mouse.
- Use Insert menu / Hyperlink (ALT+CTRL+Z
as a shortcut)
- Appoint the file (drive/folder/file
name), clicking the OK button you created a link (the marked taxt will be
blue and underlined)
It is suggested to keep you files in the same folder ot if you familiar with
folder you can create a folder structure for your teaching material. It is
logical to store your images in a separate folder.
- You can create as much links as
it necessary.
If you want to mail your module it
is suggested to store them in compressed format together (ZIP, RAR, ARJ, ACE).
If you have lot of images this method would create very large files. Files larger
than 1 MB are sometimes too large for sending it in attachment (this value can
be smaller).
