Adding images to a Learning Module

You can provide some additional customisation to your course by uploading an image as a Learning Module thumbnail. Adding images can increase interest and engagement with your materials, as well as helping users to identify relevant content more easily.

Images are not part of the course template (see How to use the course template) but can be used effectively in Organisations.

To add an image to a Learning Module thumbnail:

  • Locate the Learning Module you want to edit and click the three-dot menu. Click “edit” on the panel that appears.
