Events

At the moment, our events are listed on Shoreline, the universities site for all events. The listings are under Groups/Instructional Development.

How to get images from Shoreline to the Events Page

All the images on Shoreline are stored on Google drive, but the easiest way is to right-click on the Shoreline image and Save As. This will put the image on your local drive. Change the name to the name of the Event and the date shown:

change file save name to Event name and date shown

Now just use the Add Media button under the Event Image box on the Edit Event page.  If it is a new event the Event Image area will be blank, if it is a repeating event with a new date, delete the old image and now add media. 

add file dialog box from add or select media

 Select the file you downloaded and fill in the Alt Text in the new dialog. Make sure the image is selected and click the Insert Selected button on the bottom right.
