How to put an image up
To put up an image, first go to the appropriate course where you
want it to be displayed. Then:
Choose a
location from the course menu (in the menu bar on the left-hand
side of the screen).
- Select the "Edit View" option from the top-right of the page
which loads up.

- Click the "+ Item" option on the new toolbar which
appears.

-
Section 1 - Content information
Give your image a title name. Something must be entered in this
box.
- If required, enter text in the Text Box.
The Text Box is very versatile, allowing you to add images, short
animations, sound, movies or text which will be displayed in the
page when the item is added.
-
Section 2 - Content
Click on the "Browse" button.

- A file browser dialog window will display. Locate the image on
your computer or device such as a memory stick.
- Highlight the image and click the "Open" button.
- Give the document a name in the "Name of Link to File" text
box.
If you would
like the picture to be displayed in the actual listings, like the
picture to the right, then select the "Display Media File within
the page" option from the "Special Action" menu, as highlighted
below.

-
Section 3 - Options
If you would like to track how many students access the picture,
select "Yes" for the "Track Number of Views" option.
- If you would like to set time and date restrictions, set them
with the "Choose time and date restrictions" options.
-
Section 4 - Submit
If you are happy with all of the information, click the "Submit"
button.
- If you chose the "Display media file within the page" option in
step 10, you will be able to edit the size and position of your
image now. The default settings are often suitable.
- If you would like the image to link to another website, enter
the address in the "Image Target URL" text box.

- Click the "Submit" button and the image will display in the
listings.
