2.6.3 Images
Possibly the most straightforward digital media that can be used by a course designer are still images.
These can be easy to source or create and often highlight the point that the educator is trying to make, simply and effectively. Digital images are easy to work with and can be resized and altered without in-depth graphics knowledge.
Images can range from things you have drawn yourself to diagrams, flow-charts, graphs, infographics and photographs. As with reusing any forms of rich media, ensure that you attribute the designer/creator of the image and the associated licence for use.
