Adding an image

You can add images to the Text field.

Click in the Text field in the position where you want the image to appear. Go to Insert/Image in the text editor’s menu or click on the Image icon.

This will open a new pop-up window with the heading Image.

Click on the Browse repositories button.

Click on the Upload a file link, click on the Choose File button and navigate to the image you want to add. Ideally, the image should be no wider than 600 pixels.

Add the name of whoever created or owns the image in the Author box and select the appropriate licence in Choose licence. If the image is yours, is a logo or belongs to a company or organisation, choose All rights reserved. If it’s an image from a photo stock website, select whichever Creative Commons licence is attached to the image.

Click on Upload this file to open the Image details window.

If it’s a figure, describe the image in the How would you describe this image to someone who can’t see it? box. There’s a limit of 750 characters.

If it’s a decorative image, tick the box next to This image is decorative only.

Click on Save.

The image will appear in the text and media area along with any text already there.

Click on Save and return to course.

If you want to update the image, click on the icon of three vertical dots next to the text and media area and click on Edit settings from the drop-down menu. If you click on the image in the Text field and then click on the Image icon, the Image details window will appear.
