File Naming Conventions

• Using an effective file-naming scheme not only helps you find your files effectively, it will also help make the creation of your course navigation easier

• It will also promote time and efficiency in your course development

File Naming Conventions• In this architecture, you should name the file according to the

module number preceded by platform & course code respectively:ADE205_MC_mo01page01, ADE205_MC_mo01image01, etc

ADE205 is course code

MC – Mobile Class, other platforms areARWL – Audio Resources Web LibraryOC – Offline Courseware (Memory Stick)
