Adding an image to your course profile provides improved location of the course on your Avenue Dashboard Course overview and Recently accessed courses sections. Courses arrive with a random coloured patterned image as their default. While these are unique, they are not visually memorable. To ensure that your course has a recognizable image, change your course’s Dashboard image using the steps below.
