For best inline viewing allow for a 16:9 ratio
Where an image doesn't fill the viewable screen space entirely, an automated backdrop fill is added
Images viewed using a hi-resolution (Retina) display, will display the image at half size if the image is less than 2080px wide. See iQualify images FAQ for more information
If resizing an image, just concentrate on the pixels and ignore DPI
A change to iQualify means we can no longer ensure that an image will fill the maximum width of the image ‘box’. There is no longer a maximum width of this box and it will grow along with the width of the display.
16:9 Ratios are still recommended.
To avoid infill on the top and bottom of the image, try to use images more than 500px high.
To avoid infill on the sides of the image, try to use images more than 2080px wide.
Images viewed using a hi-resolution (Retina) display, will display the image at half size if the image is less than 2080px wide.
How images are inserted and recommended dimensions vary according to where the image is being used.

Images should include:
Caption.
Copyright owner statement.
Alt text.
Is the image a figure or diagram?
If it is, the caption style should include the figure number and description, written in this style: Fig. Module number.Figure number Description of image. Here's an example:
Fig. 2.1 The good bad graph
Is the image a photograph or screenshot?
If it is, the caption doesn't need to include the figure details, but it should include a description of the image (unless it is simply Getty Images ‘eye candy’ being used for decorative purposes – no description is required for these images).
The style for copyright statements is the copyright symbol © followed by the copyright owner’s full legal name and no full stop. Examples:
© The Open Polytechnic of New Zealand

To type a copyright symbol use ALT+0169 or use iFormat.
To conform to accessibility standards all images should also have alt text that can be used to assist students with vision impairments. The alt text should describe the image. This is currently not available for activity images.
