The recommended size for a course banner is 2340 x 340 px. We suggest you design your course banner on the free graphic design platform Canva.

Adding a course banner

Step 1

Go to Course Setup > Appearance.

If your banner has the course name included in the image, untick Show course name on banner.

If you would like to show the name on the banner, it displays approx 62 characters via the banner. If your course name is longer, we recommend using Canva and not displaying the course name via Appearance.

Adding a class-specific banner

In most cases, you'll just need to add a course banner to your course. However, In some cases where you have multiple classes running, you might like to have class-specific banners.

That means that, in classes where you have set up a class banner, learners in this class will see only this banner, not the course banner.

Go to the class you want to add the banner to.

• Go to Administer Learners > General > Class Banner.
• Upload your class banner.

The recommended size for the class banner is 2340 x 340 px.
