What Are The Recommended File Sizes for Learning Resources?

What are the recommended file types and sizes for learning resources?

We can work with almost any file type, but typically recommend the following:
  1. Video = MP4 compressed down to 480p resolution and less than 7GB
  2. Audio = MP3
  3. Reading = PDF (8.5in x 11in)
  4. Images = jpg (Icons 500px X 500px)
For MP3 and PDF files, we do not have any limitations on file size or length, as we have our compression standard we set all content down to for optimal streaming within Corrections. 

If you're looking to upload a video to your course or interactive resource, you can find out more about the specifics of our compression standard as it relates to video content here.
