default course images and a custom one.With the new "Course overview" block, faculty can add an image that appears when courses are displayed in the "Card" view. To create your own image, create a .jpg or .png or .gif file that is four times longer than it is tall. Save it as a picture, then edit the course settings (use the command under the gear menu) and upload the image you created. In the example to the right, I used PowerPoint to create a green rectangle that measured 4 inches by 1 inch. I added a screen shot and a word art. I resized the screenshot and word art to fit inside the original green rectangle; I did leave a "margin" around my screen shot and word art). I grouped the items and saved it a a picture before uploading it as my course image.

This PowerPoint file has a single slide that contains directions for creating and uploading a course image.
