Sometimes you need to share an image with your students. Here's how to add an image to the content of your Moodle course.
Step-by-step guide
- Turn on Editing (button in upper right corner of page, under the gear icon)
- Decide where you want the image to be, and prepare the image by adjusting its size, before you drag it in.
- Drag the image from your desktop into the location in Moodle where you want it to be
- A small pop-up will appear asking what you want to do with file (image) you just dragged in. You can choose "Add image to course page" (recommended) or "Create file resource"
- If you choose "Add image to course page" then you'll effectively be importing the image as a "Label" in Moodle.
- Click the Edit button, and choose Edit Settings for the image.
- Click on the Image icon in the editor tool bar to add a text description to your image.
- Click "Save changes" to finish.
You can also do a more traditional file upload process to add an image to Moodle, and you can add an image as a file resource as well, which may be handy if you need students to have a full resolution version they can download.
- Make sure that you have permission to use any images you add to your Moodle course. This means they must be creative commons, public domain or you have made the image yourself.
- It’s useful to get the correct size image for your course before you upload it.
- For accessibility reasons, please give your image a meaningful description.
