There's many places you can add an image, such as in Lessons, the Syllabus or your course Home page
In Lessons, click on the Add Text button
In the "Text Editor" displayed, click where you want the picture to display, then click on the image tool on the tool bar
In the Image Properties box, click on Browse Server
On the bottom, click on the Browse button, find and click on your picture, click Open
- On the right, click on the Upload button
- The name of your picture will show up in the middle of the screen, click on the picture name
You'll now return to the Image Properties box:
- In the alternative text box: type in what is important about the image
- If needed, change the width and/or add a border of 1; Click OK.
If you need to change the picture size (if you have scroll bars displaying or it's too small), you can click to the left of the image, on the Edit button.
- Click on the image, then click on the image tool on the tool bar
- In the Image Properties box, you usually should change only the width; the height should automatically adjust; Click OK.
