RESPECT COPYRIGHT OF OTHERSIt’s your portfolio, so showcase your own work, rather than images gathered randomly from the web. If you must use the images of others, please find them in Creative Commons sites such as http://search.creativecommons.org/.

Modules• You can use images and video in multiple modules on your portfolio: • Image/Video/Audio• Rich Text• Gallery

select an image or video from your computer or the web.

Rich Text Module

• This module is very similar to Microsoft Word. To insert an image, click the Insert Media button. Unlike with the previous module, you can put text next to your image. You may also align the image.
