Repository for the Default Course Image Library

Question

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 there Pulkit,

The link above is not working for me, however I would also like to know about licensing and copyright for images in the D2L library. Are you able to summarise what is discussed in the linked forum please?

Thank you

Amanda

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:
