Moodle: Activities & Resources: Lightbox Gallery Settings


The Lightbox Gallery allows you to create image galleries within your Moodle course. Small thumbnails will then be generated, which are used for the thumbnail view of the gallery. For instructions on adding this resource, see Moodle: Activities & Resources: Add a Lightbox Gallery.

After adding the Lightbox Gallery activity, the instructor must provide a name for the resource. Adding a description is optional.

Activity completion settings

By default, students can manually mark the gallery as complete, but an instructor can change this to be required. If required, the students can be marked complete by viewing the lightbox gallery.
