Updated on

In this article, we will explain you on how you can adjust the course image and banner text.

Click here to go directly to:

Adjusting the image of your course from the organisation homepage

Adjusting the banner image from within your course

Customizing the banner text from within your course

 

Above you will find a banner that is used in new courses. You can adjust the images on your Personal Homepage or change the images within a course. Please notice that the image will be cropped on the homepage thumbnail, so make sure you check your image both as a thumbnail and within the course.

Adjusting the image of your course from the organisation homepage

The courses you are registered for, appear on your personal homepage. Please see the article How do I add a course to my homepage? for more information.

The image you select here, will be visible to all users.

  • Go to the course for which you want to adjust the image.
  • Hover with your mouse over the top right corner of the image.
  • Click on the three dots that appear.
  • Click on Change Image.
  • Click on Upload to upload your own image or choose one of the images from the library. Scroll down for more pictures.
  • Click Save to save changes. If you use one of the images from the library, you only have to click on Use this image.
  • The image will be visible for anyone who is in the course

You can also change the image from within the course. The result is the same.

  • 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.
  • Click on Change Image.
  • The rest of the steps are the same as changing the image from the Homepage

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. The standard image size is 1200 x 300 pixels.

Customizing the banner text from within your course

This step refers to changing the banner text of a course. A course name can only be altered via Osiris or via your faculty support.

If you want to change or adjust the text in the banner of your course, here is what you should do: 

  1. Select the course for which you want to adjust the name.
  2. Click on the three dots in the upper right corner of the welcome banner.
  3. Click on Customize Banner Text
  4. Type in the name you want to assign to your course. 
  5. Click on Save.
