Replace Home Page module thumbnail images with Canvas Template

Updated on

The home page template automatically includes the following images for your thumbnails.

The number of thumbnails is determined prior to importing your course template.

1. Pick out the images you would like to use for these thumbnails.

Here are some useful image banks to use:

2. Download the images onto your desktop and rename them according to the module number they align with.

Naming

Module 1: 001.jpg

Module 2: 002.jpg

Module 3: 003.jpg

Module 4: 004.jpg

and so on....

3. Once you have the image you would like to use downloaded, return to your course and select Files.

3. Select the folder titled Folder with Home Page Images [1] or my_files [2]. In either of those folders, you should see a list of images [3].

The folders may be under a different title depending on how you customized your course. If you have problems locating this file, submit a ticket to DFI.

4. Upload your new images.

You can upload all of your new images at once.

5. A menu will pop up asking if you would like to replace the existing files. Select Replace.

It will ask you to do this for every image you replace.

6. Return to the Home Page and confirm your thumbnail images have been replaced.
