How to complete your module content
Now you've completed your scripts and slides, you'll move on to finalising your module content. This section has guidance on how to do this.
8. Images
If you want to use images in any of your content, we have to make sure that their licenses allows this. Contrary to popular belief, images from a Google Image search still retain copyright and so you cannot reuse them unless you have permission or the owner has specifically waived copyright.
The following image banks are copyright-free, so you can use the images how you want:
- Unsplash
- Pexels
- Pixabay
- Noun Project (for icons; please note these require attribution where the previous ones do not)
- Wikimedia Commons (often require attribution)
We also have access to paid-for stock images and stock footage from Storyblocks, which you can browse for suggestions to discuss with your video editor if you can't find something you want among the free image banks.
Before using an image, consider what it is adding to your content or presentation. Will it enhance a students' understanding or will it add clutter and distract from the main points you are making?
