Moodle Tips for faculty: Naming Files

   

 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
