\uD83D\uDCD8 Changing a Module’s Image Within A Course Instructions
By default, your course banner image will preload as the image for each module you create within your course.
To change a module’s image, you will need to edit the module’s description field.
The size of the module image needs to be 768 x 400 pixels to display correctly. You must resize your image to be this size before uploading, because Brightspace does not automatically crop and resize module images. This image must also be in .jpg, .jpeg, .png, or .gif format.
