Media File Types Supported in dominKnow | ONE

Options for on-page use as well as Resources and source file storage

The Media library supports a wide range of media files, whether you're using them on pages, providing them as downloadable resources or wanting to keep source files stored in a place that's easy to find.

Media Files For On-Page Use

Here are the image, audio and video file types supported by dominKnow | ONE for use on a Page.

For on-page use dominKnow | ONE also supports our own Capture files (our feature for creating software lessons) and SWF files, although many browsers no longer support SWF files.  You can also upload HTML widgets as a zip file.

Why doesn't dominKnow | ONE support every file type?

Since the content you create in dominKnow | ONE will be web-based, the Media Library only supports file types that are standard for use in web or online delivery.

There are many media file types for images, audio and video files, but a number of these were created for use on a desk-top computer and can't be delivered or don't deliver well through web content.

For example, WMA audio files or WMV video files - these  file types were originally created to run on your local computer either in Windows Media Player or in other Microsoft products such as PowerPoint. These file types aren't supported by web browsers, so being able to add them to a dominKnow | ONE page wouldn't be helpful.

Media Files as Resources

Resources are files that you might want the learner to have access to as part of a course. Examples could include a policy document or a job aid to download for use outside of the course.

Resources are listed under the Resources option in the Theme Menu. You can also link to them from pages (using a button, for example).

Resource files can include media files such as images, audio and video.

They can also include document file types:

  • .doc
  • .docx
  • .rtf
  • .pdf
  • .ppt
  • .pptx
  • .xls
  • .xlsx
  • .keynote
  • .key
  • .pages
  • .numbers

Storing Source Files in the Media Library

You can also upload source files to the Media Library.

For example, a graphic is created using Photoshop. Storing the source PSD file in the Media Library means that it's easy to find the next time it needs to be edited.  

The Media Library supports these file types as source files:

  • .csv
  • .txt
  • .fla
  • .as
  • .aup
  • .flp
  • .cel
  • .band
  • .mpp
  • .cdr
  • .gdraw
  • .pub
  • .pmd
  • .indd
  • .psd
  • .ai
  • .fm
  • .xcf
  • .act
  • .ase
  • .gpl
  • .story
  • .lectora
  • .captivate
  • .mm
  • .mmp
  • .mgmf
  • .zip

Administrator Versus Author
2021-08-23

Business and Enterprise level subscriptions have three types of users: admins, authors and reviewers. Reviewers only have review permissions for projects they are assigned. Both authors and admins have authoring capabilities, but admins have much more control than the standard author. The table below outlines the different capabilities of these two positions.

dominKnow | ONE: Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) (VPAT)
2024-09-30

As pioneers in standards-based publishing and web accessibility for the last 20 years, our commitment has a proven track record. We've been innovating with accessibility before it was "required" and when doing so was particularly challenging (e.g., Pre-WCAG 2). We made this decision because we felt and still feel that it was and is the right thing to do for the learning community.
