Teaching Online: Using Images in Schoology It’s important to use images throughout your course to add visual interest and have visual representation for the topic being covered. Images should be included on folders that are on the homepage of your course as well as a description of what is covered in the course. Media (images, vidoes, graphs, etc.) should be used throughout the course to balance text on pages, assignments, discussion boards, etc.
