If you have not already done so, log in to D2L (http://d2l.uwm.edu) using your ePanther ID and password.  Go to your D2L course site by clicking on the name of your course.

1. Once you enter your ePortfolio, click on [My Items].

1. From the list of items, identify the [Reflection] to which you'll add text and images.  A reflection will be marked by an icon that looks like a green cloud.
2. Pull down the menu to the right of the reflection.
3. Select [Edit].

Before you begin this step:  Open the word processing document containing the text you'd like to add to the reflection.  Highlight the entire document text by clicking into the text area and hitting [CTRL+A] on your PC keyboard or [Command+A] on your Mac keyboard.  Once all the text is highlighted, copy the text by hitting [CTRL+C] on your PC keyboard or [Command+C] on your Mac keyboard.

1. To paste the text into the reflection, click the [Show All Components] button in the HTML Editor area.
2. Pull down the menu to the right of the [Paste] button and select [Paste from Word].

A new "Paste from Word" window will appear.  

1. Click into the editor field and paste the text you copied from in Step #4 by hitting [CTRL+V] on your PC keyboard or [Command+V] on your Mac keyboard.
2. Click [Update].

You'll return to the Edit Reflection window.  To add images to the reflection complete the following steps:

1. In the HTML editor, locate the place in the text where you'd like to insert an image.  Place your cursor between the paragraphs and click [ENTER] on your keyboard a few times to give the image space between the text.
2. With your cursor in the correct location, click the [Insert Stuff] button (looks like "play," "pause," "stop," and "fast forward" buttons).

1. Ensure that [ePortfolio] is selected.  Browse for the image from the items already uploaded to your ePortfolio.  NOTE: If you have not already uploaded your images to your ePortfolio, complete the steps in the following tutorial: http://uwmltc.org/?p=8194
2. Check the box in front of the image you’d like to insert.
3. Click the [Next] button.

1. Enter [Link Text] and [Alternate Text]. This can be the same text as the Topic Title.
2. Ensure that the box in front of [Lock aspect ratio] is checked. This will keep your image height and width proportional.
3. If your image has a horizontal orientation, enter a number in the [Width] box. It is recommended that horizontal images your images are NO WIDER than 900px.  If your image has a vertical orientation, enter a number in the [Height] box.  It is recommended that vertical images are NO TALLER than 750px.  Because you’ve checked the [Lock aspect ratio], you do not need to enter a number in the other box. D2L will automatically size the height appropriately.
4. Click [Refresh Preview] to see how your resized image will look in D2L. If you want it larger or smaller, type a larger or smaller number in the [Width] box.
5. When you’re satisfied with the size, click [Insert].

Once you return to the HTML Editor, you can add additional images, if desired.  Repeat Step #6 - Step #8, until all your images are added to your reflection.

1. When you are satisfied with the text and image arrangement, click [Save and Close].

In the reflection preview, you can see the arrangement of text and images.
