Digital Images
Digital images will be used to help the course stand out and emphasize the learning objectives. Images will be enhanced as necessary to create an aesthetically pleasing course using basic design principles such as balance, contrast, gestalt, etc.
These images were taken from OER Resource for images – PIXABAY
