Emerging Technologies Staff Development Monday 21 November 2011 – The Right Image For Blackboard
Want to learn how to make your images more accessible?
By optimising them you are creating a resource which is both less demanding on Blackboard and eShare storage and also more usable by your intended audience.
Image optimisation is using the most compressed (smallest file size) which remains visually acceptable for the specific role of the image.
This session aims to demonstrate some simple techniques to optimise images using Microsoft programmes.
Book on to this session by emailing Staff Development.
