I need to provide links to images for students to download in order to complete their assignments. I set up a link and then use the link editor to upload the image. In the editor, the link looks fine. It's just text that students would click on to download the link. When you actually view the assignment though, it's as if I used this code:
<img src="pathtoimagehere.jpg"/>
But what I actually put and want to see is:
<a href="pathtoimagehere.jpg">Click here to download</a>
Any suggestions?
Rory,
I'm not a coder so can't help there. However, if you go into assignments there's a descriptions box after the title. I often put links to files, images there. It's as simple to use as any other dialogue box - click on 'insert image' and away you go.
If you have a large number of images e.g. Art, then you should be able to create a Gallery (Lightbox Gallery seems popular). Then, upload your images and put the link into your instructions. It's a hyperlink so no worries (set the display option to 'new page' in force download - makes it easier for students to follow numerous images rather than scrolling back.
Hope that helps.
Paul
