To add a Image Gallery activity to your design, just drag and drop the activity in the authoring canvas and double click on it to set it up.

Image Gallery Content

When you set up an Image Gallery activity, you can configure a range of options to control how students view, contribute, and interact with images. Below is a breakdown of each option and how you can use it in your lesson design.

Image Gallery authoring

Title

• This is the name of the activity shown to students. Use a clear and descriptive title to help students understand the purpose of the task.

Instructions / Description

This is where you provide guidance to students on what they need to do:

You can include:

• The context of the activity

• Step-by-step instructions

• Evaluation criteria

• Expectations for participation

Well-written instructions are essential to ensure students engage meaningfully with the images.

Adding images

Add Image

This allows you to upload images that students will analyse and interact with.

You can use this to:

• Provide core material for evaluation

• Set up case studies or examples

• Guide students towards specific learning outcomes

If no images are added, students will only see content if you allow them to upload their own.

You can upload one or multiple images at once.

Advanced Settings

These options control how students participate, contribute, and interact within the gallery.

Allow students to share their own images

When enabled, students can upload and share their own images with the class or team/group.

Use this option when you want to:

• Encourage student-generated content

• Support exploration and discovery

• Enable peer learning through contributions

Notify instructors when a student submits an image

When enabled, you will receive a notification each time a student uploads an image.

This is useful for:

• Monitoring participation in real time

• Reviewing submissions as they are added

• Providing timely feedback

Enable feedback

Allows students to interact with images by providing feedback.

This can include:

• Comments

• Ratings or rankings (depending on configuration)

Enable this when you want students to critically evaluate and discuss images.

Allow students to select favourite images

Students can mark images as favourites.

This is useful for:

• Identifying popular or impactful images

• Encouraging quick engagement

• Supporting informal evaluation

This option works well when you want a lightweight interaction mechanism.

Allow students to give a rank to images

Students can formally rate images based on defined criteria.

You can use this to:

• Structure peer evaluation

• Compare student judgements

• Support assessment or grading activities

This option is ideal when you want more rigorous evaluation than simple favourites.

Lock when finished

Prevents students from adding or modifying images after completing the activity.

Use this to:

• Maintain fairness in assessment scenarios

• Ensure final submissions are fixed

• Prevent late changes after deadlines

Learning Outcomes

Mapping learning outcomes to activities is very useful for curriculum mapping.

Add learning outcomes to the activity

As with all activities in LAMS, you can map your learning outcomes to this activity. If you want to add a learning outcome, just search for the particular outcome or type a new one it will be added to your list of learning outcomes for the future.

You can search Learning Outcomes by code or name.
