## General Lecture Advice
|
||
|
||
- **Consistency**: Pick a visual style (all photos, all illustrated, or a consistent mix) and stick with it per module
|
||
- **Attribution**: All three recommended sources (Unsplash, Pexels, Pixabay) are free to use without attribution, but crediting photographers is good practice
|
||
- **Fair use**: The textbook publisher may have an instructor resources site with approved images — worth asking Dr. Cason about
|
||
- **Diverse representation**: Prioritize photos showing diverse, inclusive classrooms/workplaces
|
||
- **Avoid clutter**: Clean, uncluttered images work better in presentations than busy stock photos
|
||
- **Screenshots**: UI screenshots from real apps (Word, Drive, Gmail) are often more useful than stock photos for productivity chapters
