However, because of the way it compresses data and the fact that it only supports 256 colors, it should only be used for line art, logos, or graphics with broad flat areas of solid color. It is not the best format to use for photographs or artwork with subtle color variations. GIF if also used for graphics that have areas of transparency or for those used in animations. Files saved in GIF have the file extension .gif.
The JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) file format was developed specifically for photographs and other high-color images. JPEG is a lossy format, which means that some image data is discarded when it is compressed. However, image data can sometimes be discarded with little difference in quality. Because it supports millions of colors, JPEG is the ideal format for compressing photographic images and other images with subtle color variations or textures.

Even if you are not creating or editing your own graphics, it is helpful to be familiar with a few basic terms relating to Web graphics.
Image File Formats
Images may be saved in a wide variety of file formats, but there are only two types that should be used for Web pages: GIF (Graphics Interchange Format)and JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group). Both formats are supported by a wide range of browsers and both offer a combination of small file size and high quality. A third format called PNG (Portable Network Graphic) is not supported by all Web browsers without a plug-in, so it should not be used at this time.

Promising Practices in Online Teaching and Learning



The following activities are based on traditional F2F activities but modified to fit the online environment. It is not our intent to present a comprehensive list of activities but to prompt thought about how F2F activities can be used, with modification, in distance education.


 


Individual and Group Project Activity


F2F instructors often use individual projects to extend learning across time and to increase complexity. Many projects have multiple elements and require students to apply content in ways that are different from providing answers o
