If you want to use images in your power point presentation and your Moodle course so that your materials are not solely formed by words, you may rely on Google to search for images. If this is the case, please remember that you need to ensure you have the permission of the copyright owner before you use this material. Google Advance Image Search allows you to search for images that have been released under a Creative Commons License, or images that are not longer protected by copyright and are in the Public Domain. When using Google, always click on the image and visit the webpage where the picture is being held to double check the owner has granted public use of the image.

A good alternative is the use of images that has been licensed under Creative Commons and that can be found using the image search engine in creativecommons.org. Images that are published under a Creative Commons license allow you to use them for educational purposes, as long as you acknowledge the owner/creator, the license it is used under and a link to the source. Some of these are even released under a license that will allow you to modify. ALWAYS check the terms of the license carefully. You can search for images released under a CC License using the Creative Commons Image Search Engine by clicking here.

Another alternative is to search for images in Stock Images sites, such as Unsplash where they are published for free and they do not require of you to acknowledge the source. Please note that NOT ALL IMAGES  in a stock image site are copyright free. Always check very carefully the terms and conditions linked to the specific image you want to use. The use of some images will require of you to acknowledge the owner, others are free to use without having to cite the source.
