Embedding images, videos, or audio can transform presentations to be more engaging and dynamic. It also makes it easy to access the media from within the presentation rather than having to move back and forth between a presentation and other software.
Be sure the images and videos you select are open access and cite the source!
ARTstor is a digital library that contains hundreds of thousands of high-resolution images of art, architecture, and archaeological artifacts. Each image is accompanied by descriptive information. The Auraria Library's subscription to ARTstor also offers ArchiVision (architecture) and Shared Shelf (images created and shared by campus faculty).
You don't have to use previously created media content in your presentation - you can use your own images, photos, videos, and audio. Below are examples of media tools to create media.
