Anytime  @coulter_m ​! I appreciate your kind words and am glad you were able to make it. Please let me know what question you have, it was hard to squeeze everything into a short session!

One of the best sessions I attended! Thank you!

 @jstepl , do you have detailed instructions on how to link a photo icon to modules like you showed in the session? It looked great and I'm sure a lot of people would love to imitate it!

[jstepl]

Of course  @RebeccaMoulder ​, my apologies! I'm still catching up back in the office

If you would like to link uploaded images to another part of your course, it works just like hyperlinking text! I'm including a link to that Canvas Guide here:

How do I insert links to course content into the Rich Content Editor using the Content Selector?

You can also follow my steps here:

Once you've inserted your custom image using the Rich Content Editor, highlight it (it will turn light blue) and click:

1. The link icon to link to an external site via its URL.
2. Or select an option from your Content Selector on the right.

• Links for previously created pages in your course.
• Files or Images (self explanatory).

Here is a screenshot of my inserted image, highlighted and where to look for your created course pages (remember, they'll only appear here if they're published).

This would be a great way to direct modules. Link to the first content page within each module or topic area (notice how in the example I linked to "Lesson 1") and you can help direct students in a visually-appealing and friendly way!

Please let me know if you have additional questions!
