Movies can be part of different learning contents. These files must be stored in condensed form in order to be transferred via Internet. For example, the file format .mov would be a good choice. The movie`s size must be considered when transmitting data. Therefore, it makes sense to store movies on a special Streaming Server before setting a link in your learning contents.
