As mentioned in the Documentation, D2L Brightspace has a image library that teachers can use to set course images on a whim, including having those images be tagged (i.e. searching skeleton results in the library pulling images of a skeleton).

I really enjoy the selection of these images from what I've seen as a learner taking courses with Brightspace and was wondering, assuming the images are royalty-free and/or creative commons licensed, what image library (or libraries) does Brightspace source from for their image library?

    Hi @Thomas.V.1940,

    Thanks for reaching out to the Brightspace Community and sharing your feedback! 😊

    D2L offers an image library containing over 3,000 images, all licensed for use within the Brightspace platform. These images are sourced from a combination of open-source and paid image libraries, ensuring that they comply with licensing requirements.

    Instructors and course designers also have the option to upload their own images. For guidelines on how to do this, please refer to the article:  https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/3316-create-a-widget-based-homepage
