Using Images in Your Quiz Questions
January 15, 2026
To ensure a smooth term following our move to Canvas, we encourage a quick "digital spring cleaning" of your quiz images to prevent any technical hurdles for your students.
Check Your Quiz Images
- Preview Your Quizzes: Check your or to ensure all images display correctly.
- Download Originals from Moodle: If an image needs updating, download the original file from your course (Right-click > Save image as…). Please do not use copy/paste.
- Embed with Cidi Labs: Use the Cidi Labs Upload/Embed Image tool to re-upload images. This allows you to edit, crop, and adjust your images for improved stability, responsive scaling, and improved accessibility. (Plug icon > View More > Cidi Labs Upload / Embed Image)
- For more details:
- Tip: Learn more about the Cidi Labs DesignPlus tools at ITRC Workshops offered through the Center for Instructional Excellence.
Bonus Tip: Best Practices for Naming Image Files
- Be Descriptive for You: Use clear names like Bio101_Mitosis_Diagram_v2.jpg for easy searching in your files.
- Be Discrete for Students: Use neutral names like Cell_Structure_Question_4.png to avoid giving away answers.
The ITRC is always here to help you navigate these tools in ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø Canvas. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions or need assistance.
