Finding images

There are three main ways of finding images for use in book chapters:

  1. Search Wikimedia Commons directly or via the Insert - Media option in the visual editor. These images can be easily embedded on Wikiversity.
  2. Upload free-to-use images to Wikimedia Commons and then embed on Wikiversity pages. See suggestions about how to find free-to-use images.
  3. Create and upload your own images to Wikimedia Commons.

Google Image search provides excellent semantic search which is filterable by license (via Tools - Usage rights - Creative Commons). You can get a Wikimedia Commons search by appending "site:commons.wikipedia.org" to the image search term e.g., https://www.google.com/search?q=egg+site%3Acommons.wikipedia.org}}

For some starting ideas, see the motivation and emotion gallery.
