How to choose a photo for a course or upload a photo of your own ( Instructions below )

helpdesk@itp.nyu.edu can help get this setup.

Contact ITP Helpdesk (helpdesk@itp.nyu.edu) for help setting up an internal blog (itp.nyu.edu/classes), Google site, or re-direct to a URL of your choosing (some instructors host their materials on Github or other platforms) – see below for details, or use NYU’s LMS Brightspace/NYU Brightspace: Creating your course site (Instructors )– all instructors have Brightspace access. The department does not enforce using one platform over another for hosting your course materials – this is entirely up to you!

  • A site on our multiuser WordPress platform
  • A Google site on sites.itp.nyu.edu
    • Format: http://sites.google.com/a/itp.nyu.edu/classname
    • Please contact helpdesk@itp.nyu.edu to set you up with a site with proper access
  • A redirect for your class
    • Format: http://itp.nyu.edu/classname/ which you can set up any way you want.
  • Feel free to make suggestions and ask about alternatives you’d like to see.

The instructions on how to accomplish this task are below:

  1. Go to https://itp.nyu.edu/registration/Admin/selectCourseImage.php
  2. For each course listed, select one of the preselected images for your course (a dotted green border should appear around the image) and click Submit, or,
  3. If there are no preselected images, or if you would prefer to use your own image, use the file picker at the bottom of the form to do so, and fill in the attribution and a text alternative for accessibility (see this link for alt text guidelines).  Then click Submit as before.
    Note: if you select an image file for uploading, that will take precedence over any image you have selected.
  4. When the page reloads, you should see your selected or uploaded image in the “Previously selected image” section.  That means your image has been successfully received.
  5. You can repeat this process as necessary.  Please be aware that the image will not be reflected on the ITP website immediately, and it may take some time before it is transferred over.
