This warning occurs when you are trying to upload a file to Moodle that is larger then the limit set in this module. For example when you are uploading a lecture powerpoint or document for a student to use. There are good reasons to consider the size of the files you upload. Larger files take longer to upload, take up more of the Moodle system and can be frustrating for students waiting whilst viewing them - particularly on tablets or a mobile. 

Reducing the file size

File Type

Reduce By:

Powerpoint Presentation (.ppt)

Microsoft Powerpoint has inbuilt compression options:

Word Document (.doc/.docx)

Convert the document into a pdf file. N.B. This will compress the document into an uneditable format.
If further editing of the document is required then either zip (see others) or compress the images in the document:
