				Naming files to ensure they will be read by all users
				For All Users: 1) Avoid Spaces and Punctuation in File Names Moodle cannot understand file names with spaces and with some types of punctuation. Use underscores instead of spaces, and avoid punctuation marks. Bad file name: English paper; draft 1.doc Good file name: english_paper_draft_1.doc Good file name: EnglishPaper_draft1.doc 2) Give All Files Unique Names Be sure to give all uploaded files unique names. If more than one file named "draft1.doc" is uploaded to Moodle, the first file will be overwritten by the second. If you are uploading one-to-one corrections of assignments to students, this may cause the work of some students to be lost. Adding the student's username to the beginning of the file name will avoid this problem. Bad file name: draft1.doc Good file name: abc00_draft1.doc Text adapted from Humboldt State University by Michael Penney - Courseware Development Center.
