\label{Uploading_File_Options}

\begin{itemize}

\item{\textbf{Regular file}}\index{import} A file that requires no special handling during
upload. The "Regular file" designation applies to html files, image
files etc., as well as to zip, tar or gzip files that you wish to
decompress after upload. In the case of a zip/tar/gz file etc., once
the file has been uploaded, a "Decompress" link will automatically be
displayed adjacent to the name of the file in the display of
authoring space directory contents. You will be able to decompress
this file by clicking the link.

\item{\textbf{Testbank file}}\index{import ascii testbank} 
a testbank file containing questions and answers in plain text (ascii), 
Rich Text Format (RTF), or HTML format, which you plan to convert to 
LON-CAPA problems. The following question types can be converted: 1 of N
multiple choice questions, individual True/False questions, groups of
True/False questions, Fill-in-the-blank questions, Ranking questions,
and Essay/short answer questions. The original testbank file can be
removed from your authoring space later, once the testbank
questions have been converted. (see \ref{Testbank_Formatting} for
further information on formatting a test file for upload.)

\item{\textbf{IMS package}}\index{IMS import}\index{import IMS} a file containing course content from another
Course Management System (Blackboard, ANGEL or WebCT) packaged
according to the IMS 1.1 specification.  The original IMS package file
can be removed from your authoring space later, once the package
has been decompressed and the files converted to LON-CAPA sequence,
page, problem, or bulletin board files, or stored as html, image or
movie files etc., as appropriate.
