Carmen: Supported and Restricted File Types [Instructor]



Carmen currently supports the following types of files for use as content topics:

File Type Extension
Web document .htm, .html, .mht, .mhtml
Text document .doc, .rtf, .ppt, .pps, .pdf, .txt, .xls, .wpd
Image .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .png
Media .asf, .avi, .mp3, .mpg, .mov, .mpeg, .ra, .ram, .rm, .swf, .wav, .wmv, .wma

Note, however, for students to view documents online (as opposed to downloading and opening them in another program), it's wise to stick to these formats:

  • HTML (.html or .htm): Use for text or other documents requiring more than basic formatting (including PowerPoint files).
  • Plain text (.txt): Use for short, simple text where no formatting beyond paragraphs is required.
  • JPEG (.jpg or .jpeg): Use for graphics that are photographs or fine art reproductions.
  • GIF (.gif): Use for other graphics files.

Shown below are restricted upload extensions:

Restricted Extentions
.asa .asax .ascx .ashx
.asmx .asp .aspx .axd
.bat .cdx .cer .com
.config .cs .csproj .dll
.exe .idc .ini .java
.jsl .licx .rem .resources
.resx .shtm .shtml .soap
.stm .vb .vbproj .visproj
.vsdicso .webinfo .. ..
