Changing the images in table of contents
It is possible to have different images for each unit.
In order to change the image of a unit, click on the unit and add an image to its description. Do this by clicking the image icon.
Note:
You have to upload an image by clicking the image icon. It is not sufficient to copy and paste an image here, since it will disappear after a while.
Adjusting the banner in your course
- Go to the course homepage of the course for which you want to alter the welcome banner.
- Click on the three dots in the upper right corner of the welcome banner.
The image and text of the welcome banner is visible for all users enrolled in your course.
- A new screen will pop up where you can edit your Banner.
- Upload your own image or select one of the standard images.
An uploaded image can be depicted differently than intended due to the fact that Brightspace automatically adjusts the screen resolutions and sizes to optimize the user experience on different devices. Therefore we recommend you to stick to an image size of 2400 x 980 pixels.
- Change the Text if you wish to do so. For instance a short welcome message to all new users, or an explanatory title for your course.
- Click Save to save changes.
