Uploading Image Assets

FILE : To upload an image from your computer, select FILE and simply drag and drop your locally saved file, or select the CLICK HERE option in the DROP OR CLICK HERE TO UPLOAD A FILE field to locate and select your desired image. Once your image has populated, add any additional details (including the Title and Usage Rights), and select the SAVE IMAGE button to save your image to your library.
WEB SEARCH : This option allows you to quickly find assets you need on the Web without ever leaving the system. Simply select WEB SEARCH from the SOURCE dropdown, click the SEARCH WEB button, and enter a search topic. Once your search results have populated, hover over any image to preview it (using the ENLARGE icon) or add it to your image library (using the + icon). After you’ve clicked the + icon to add an image to your library, you can add descriptive details, including the Title, Usage Rights, Caption, and more.
URL : To add an image from the Web using a URL, select URL from the SOURCE dropdown. A new field will display beneath SOURCE, allowing you to add your desired URL. Once your image has populated, add any additional details (including the Title and Usage Rights), and select the SAVE IMAGE button to save your image to your library.

When adding images, please note that you must fill in the mandatory TITLE (ALT TEXT) and USAGE RIGHTS fields. It is also recommended that you fill in the CAPTION, CATEGORIES, and DESCRIPTION TAGS for each image:

Definitions:

CAPTION : A brief description of the content featured in your asset
CATEGORIES : Specific classifications for assets having definitive shared characteristics
DESCRIPTION TAGS : Labels attached to an asset for the purpose of identification

Updating these fields will allow you to filter, search, edit, or replace your assets later. Organizing your libraries will help promote greater efficiency, which is especially important as your asset libraries grow with the creation of each new course. When uploading your assets, you can also choose to add these to existing Collections as well (creating Collections is covered in the Collections section).

Note Return to any image at any time to replace it or update its details. This is discussed in further detail later in this section.

To bulk upload image assets, see the Bulk Upload section. To sort your assets in your Assets library, use COLLECTIONS, CATEGORIES or TAGS on the left side. See the Categories and Tags Section.
