Insert Images
Images are a powerful way to enhance your course content and improve learner engagement. Whether you're using high-quality stock visuals, uploading your own graphics, or generating unique images with AI, Coursebox offers flexible options to suit your content style. This section walks you through the different ways you can incorporate images to support your learning objectives and create a more visually compelling experience.
Go to the bottom menu on your Couse editing page and select multimedia > images
When the pop up shows, then you can select any of the following features:
Stock Images
Coursebox allows you to easily enhance your content by selecting high-quality stock images directly within the platform. From the top menu, you can browse and insert visuals that align with your lesson themes, making your course more engaging and visually appealing.
Uploading Images
In addition to stock images, Coursebox makes it simple to personalise your content by uploading your own visuals. Just drag and drop images directly into the editor to enhance lessons with custom graphics, branding, or relevant media.
Generate an AI Image
Coursebox lets you create custom visuals using AI image generation. You can access this feature as above or from the bottom menu clicking on AI > Images
Then, simply write a prompt describing the type of image you need, and the platform will generate a unique image to match your content—perfect for tailoring visuals to specific topics or themes.
Note: In Coursebox, generated images cannot be edited directly (there is no image-editing mode). To make changes, you’ll need to regenerate a new version of the image using a refined or customized prompt, then replace the image in your course with the updated version.
Note: If Coursebox does not allow you to generate more images, it is usually because you have reached the image-generation credit limit included in your plan. Image credits typically reset according to your billing cycle (the date you subscribed), not necessarily on the first day of the month.
Add Video
Video is one of the most powerful tools for engaging learners and delivering content in a dynamic, accessible way. Coursebox gives you multiple options to incorporate video into your course—whether through AI-generated videos, direct uploads, or external video links. These tools allow you to customise the look, feel, and delivery of your video content, helping you create a rich, branded learning experience that resonates with your audience.

This makes it clear that the file is a resource, not an assessed task.

This is ideal for sharing guides, reports, manuals, or worksheets in a seamless and accessible format. Simply upload your PDF and it will appear embedded for easy viewing.
The Steps are:
Select Multimedia and Embed Pdf from the bottom menu
