Adding an Image to Content

Adding an image to your content in Blackboard requires you to upload the files into Bb and then insert them into your content. Here’s how to do that:

1. When you add content to Blackboard, the following toolbar appears:
2. Click the Plus button shown below (the plus button) to begin the process of adding an image to the content items in Blackboard.
3. Choose Insert Local Files from the list.
4. Choose the image from your computer files.
5. Once the image is inserted, you’ll want to edit it. Right-click on the image and choose Image!
6. Add an Alternative Description to the image. This is an ADA REQUIREMENT. This is not optional.
7. The size of the image may be too large and need to be made smaller. Keep the largest image size number under 800.
8. Add your content and Submit the item.
