Adding images and files to Samigo requires more steps is more complex than in Quiz Builder, but allows more flexibility in layout.
Images are generally stored in Resources of the course or related project worksite. A reference link is generated in a question by clicking on the file to generate a new window, using Copy Shortcut or getting the URL from Revise Properties. selecting the image icon and adding in the image url. If multiple images will be added to the a quiz, it is easy to open Resources in a new window to access to link information and quizzes at the same time. Add a .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, or .bmp image by typing text into the HTML Editor text area and then select the location in the text where the image will appear.
Select the image icon from the text editor and a new Insert
Image window will pop open.
Images can be placed before, within or after text which , allowing more display control than in Quiz Builder. Multiple images can be added by repeating these actions. Images can be placed in any text area field, including answers and feedback.

The image source reference with this method requires that the file reside in Resources. Once an image URL is generated in Resources, the URL can be used in multiple questions or quizzes. Changing the graphic in Resources, even if the new file has a different name, will replace the image in all URL references and the new image will be renamed with the original file's name. |
When a quiz with images referenced to Resources is exported and then imported to another course or site, the path reference is retained and the images are accessible from the new course. Because only the path, but not the actual image is imported, those files associated with quizzes in Quiz Builder would need to be moved separately into Resources, and then referenced within the quiz by their new URL.
Other types of files can also be linked to quizzes as links. Documents, PDF files, and other types of course materials can be referenced in the following manner: type text in any HTML Editor text area, highlight the text, and then select the link icon. Paste in the URL reference and optional title and target.
Images and documents outside of Sakai can be linked in this manneralso, as long as the URL is properly formed and the outside location is publicly accessible. For most non-media files, it is best to set the target to "_blank" to open it in a new window. The student will need to either open or save the file. Audio and other media files can be accessed successfully through this method.
Images and other file types can be used in Samigo with more flexibility of layout and in answers and feedback as well as in questions. Images and non-image files will be migrated to Resources manually since the file reference will change. File references will need to be redone manually after the quiz is importedSamigo v2.3 adds the ability to place attachments to questions.
