Network Hosted Images

When including images in educational content, many systems do not have an effective interface for managing images.

Current active stores include:

smb://engshares.uwaterloo.ca/ece106
smb://engshares.uwaterloo.ca/ece140

Getting Access

Highlight important information in a panel like this one. To edit this panel's color or style, select one of the options in the menu.

Storing Images

On Windows

Open File Explorer
Type in Windows formatted address of the shared drive. For example,
\\engshares.uwaterloo.ca\ece140
You may be prompted to enter network credentials. Enter Nexus userid and password. For example, NEXUS\d24lau.

On Mac

Open Finder
From the menu, select Go → Connect to Server…
Enter the SMB address of the shared drive. For example, smb://engshares.uwaterloo.ca/ece106

Embedding Images

The path for embedding the image follows the file structure on the server.

<img src="https://www.eng.uwaterloo.ca/~ece140/Labs/500/ECE140_LAB_05_RC_CIRCUIT_1.PNG"/>

Usually it is helpful to make the image clickable so that when a user clicks on the image, it brings up a full-resolution version of the image in a separate tab.
