How do you 'get a copy'?
Click on the link of the collection in which you are interested, for PC's in Internet Explorer right click on the image, select Save Target As... and save it to your harddrive in a place you can find it. Then in Blackboard 6.2 ...go to Control Panel....Settings...Course Design...Course Banner and follow the directions.
Copyright: copies of materials begining with this URL (http://www.wku.edu/teaching/online/) may be made for teaching and research purposes free of charge without securing permission, as allowed by United States Copyright Law, provided copies are not resold. For all other purposes, permission must be obtained from the website manager or the particular submitter.
Caveat: In Blackboard course management system, the default "alt tag" for the banner is "<your course name> Course Banner". If you have students who are visually impaired, they will not know what the banner says unless you tell them in the Announcements.
I have preceded each banner with a description of any text and a brief description of the image so that you can "search" by text.
Diversity: I am very interested in expanding this collection in terms of diversity and am working toward that end. Unfortunately, I am limited to copyright free images as I'm not an artist and can't draw my own. I appreciate help finding such images. Thanks.
