How can I use icons (pictures) for module links?

[mvalentin5]

How do you add icons (pictures) for module links?  I would like to use icons rather than use the basic module drop down menu in my canvas course.

Please advise,

Marie

Hi mvalentin5 Welcome to the Canvas Community.

I am so with you on this one. 

To quote a Community Colleague  @kblack ‌:

  Canvas makes this incredibly easy to do; simply follow the same instructions for creating a link to anywhere on your site that is posted here: How do I link to other Canvas pages in a course? BUT in your case, rather than selecting text you simply want to click directly on the image where you want the link.  Then, after clicking on the image, head to that the LINKS tab that is shown in that lesson in your rich content editor, click on the MODULES area under the Links tab, and you can select the Module that you want the image to link to.  That should do it.
