[Pages:1]Searching for Images for PolyLearn or Presentations

Images, charts, and diagrams can reinforce concepts and ideas from written text and oral or digital presentations. If you use images of people, make sure your representations are diverse and inclusive. Always resize large images before adding to PolyLearn, as this affects the time it takes browsers to open a page. Keep image sizes below 1,000 pixels, and preferably 600 or below. Always make sure you add alternative text (alt text) to images in PolyLearn, documents, and presentations, so students using screen readers can interpret the images. This is especially important for charts and graphs. The following list includes images that are free or low-cost, many have creative commons licenses, some require attribution (credit) and some do not. Providing citations is a best practice:
