Using Images in e-learning
Purposeful images provide an opportunity
for students to engage in visual literacy. In this multimodal age this is ever
so important as images can evoke feelings, support skills development and engage
higher order thinking (knowledge, understanding, analysis and evaluation). This
technology can support many classroom activities to enhance and extend students
engagement. Images can also be presented with a question for analysis and evaluation.
Students can create their own images as a representation of a learnt topic.
The following images are contextual to the subject of Home Economics, falling into the areas of body image and sustainability. These powerful images contain an underlying message that engages one's thought process whilst also providing stimulus for emotional and opinionated discussion.

...RE-SIZING IMAGES FOR THE WEB...
Resizing images, in this case, does not refer to the simple alteration of size, but the alteration of file size to ensure it not too large for the capacity of the blog or site. By resizing the image, loading time is cut down and viewers can see images more efficiently. The program Mobaphoto was used to resize the images on this blog post. This tool is beneficial for one to ensure the images are appropriately sized for the web. The technology used to resize photos falls into the substitution level of the SAMR model. This is the case as an online images act as a substitution for textbook images and paper resources. Through access to online images Learning Managers are able to select from a wider variety, thus draw students in with more complex images .
