Step 1: Insert an Image Block

  1. Open a Rise 360 course, then edit an existing lesson or create a new one.

  2. On the blocks shortcut bar, click Image or AI Image to insert a block or start building with AI immediately.

You can also:

  1. Select All Blocks on the blocks shortcut bar, or click the insert block icon (+) that appears when you mouse over a boundary between blocks.

  2. When the sidebar appears, choose the Image category in the block library, then select the block you want. 

Step 2: Modify the Image Block 

Use the format menu to modify how your content displays on the screen. In addition to adjusting block padding, you can enable or disable the ability to click to zoom. You can also change the following block-specific settings:

  • Image & text—change the position of the image and the image size

  • Text on image—adjust the opacity and color

To see how your image looks in a different block template, hover over the image block and select the template from the menu that appears on the left-hand side. 

Step 3: Modify the Image

To modify the image itself, hover over the block and select the content icon that appears in the editing toolbar on the left. Click Edit

From here, you can replace the image with your own, generate a new image with AI, choose a new image from Content Library 360, crop the image, or add alternative text.

Accessibility

Image blocks are accessible as long as you provide alternative text. Conduct testing with keyboard navigation and screen readers to ensure accessibility. For further guidance on creating accessible content, check out the accessibility-focused design tips in the resources below:
