Adding a Header Image to a Quiz Question

Adding a Header Image to a Quiz Question

Overview

Learn how to enhance your quizzes by adding header images to individual quiz questions.

Header images add a visual element to your quizzes — making them more engaging and helping learners differentiate between questions. This can be especially useful in longer quizzes or when visual context is helpful.

Functionality Breakdown

When creating or editing a quiz question, you have the option to upload a header image specific to that question.

Benefits include:

  • Visually distinguishing one question from another.

  • Adding clarity or context to a question.

  • Creating a more engaging learning experience.

Pre-requisites

Before you begin, make sure:

  • You have permission to create or edit quizzes.

  • Your image file is in a supported format (.jpg or .png).

  • The image size is appropriate — ideally landscape orientation and at least 800px wide.

Required Roles

To add header images to quiz questions, you need permission to edit quizzes. This is available to users with one of the following roles:

  • Curator

  • Learning Designer

  • Admin

  • Owner

Coaches can also add header images to quizzes they create, as they are automatically granted editor access. Additionally, any user who is explicitly assigned as an Editor of a specific quiz can add header images to questions in that quiz, regardless of their role.
