 Adding Images If your course has a lot of learning content, resources and activities, it's sometimes more attractive to add a course banner or some images in the sections or in the blocks to make it easy on the eye. There are two ways to add images to your Moodle course, and both of them need you to have the editing turned on, either by clicking the button top right, or by scrolling down and in the administration block, clicking the link turn editing on. If at the top of your course page you then see a message saying that you could drag and drop files, you can use the first method. If you don't see that, you can use the second method. In this video we'll look at two ways to add images to your course page. In the section on reading I'm going to add a little graphic which I have over on the right here on my desktop. When you're adding images it's important to make sure that you have permission to add them or that they're creative commons or public domain. It's useful also to get them the right size for your Moodle course before you upload them. So because I'm able to drag and drop images I simply put my cursor on the image, click to hold it and then drag it into the reading section. What happens then is I'm given a message asking whether I want to add it to the course page to be displayed directly or make a file resource. Someone would then have to click on it to access it. I want to add it straight onto the course page, so I click upload and then it's uploaded down here and if I want it at the top I simply click the move icon to drag it up. If you're not able to upload with drag and drop let's look at the second method. I want to add an image in the listening section of my course and I'm going to add it to the topic summary. So I click the configure icon which is different according to the theme that you're using and this takes me to Moodle's atto text editor where I click the icon which looks a bit like a mountain. It's the icon for uploading an image and then when I click on it I'm brought to a box where I click the button browse repositories. This takes us to Moodle's file picker which we look at in a separate video. I simply want to upload the chosen graphic from my computer so I choose upload a file and then I click the button which says choose file or browse depending on your browser to go and pick the image. It can be saved with a different name if you want, change the author if you want, change the license if it's not appropriate and then click the button upload this file. We need to add a description or if we don't think it needs a description we can check the box, we can change the size and we can change its alignment and then we save the image and it's displayed. So there are two ways of adding images to your course page by drag and drop or by using the icon in the text editor.
