Summary

You can add or edit a Hāpara Workspace cover image either when you create the Workspace or from the My Workspaces homepage. Click the cover image area or pencil icon, choose an image, crop it, add optional alt text and then save.

 

Add a cover image when creating a Workspace in Hāpara

  1. Open Hāpara Workspace.

  2. Click Create Workspace (or the equivalent option for your environment).

  3. On the create page, find the Cover image section at the top of the Workspace.

  4. Click anywhere in the Cover image section.

  5. In the image selector that opens, search for a cover image:

    • Type keywords related to your Workspace (for example, “fractions,” “World War II,” “science”).

    • Or use the subject filters below the search box to browse by subject.

  6. Click the image you want to use.

  7. On the next screen, use the cropping tool to adjust how the image appears on the cover.

  8. (Optional but recommended) Edit the image alt text so students using screen readers understand what the image represents.

  9. Click Save to apply the cover image to your new Workspace.

Where students see Workspace cover images


Students will see the Workspace cover image:

  • On the Workspace tab in Student Dashboard, on each Workspace tile.

  • Next to their Workspace assignments in the To Do tab.

     

Additional tips

  • Choose images that clearly match the topic or unit name so students can quickly find the right Workspace.

  • Use simple, high-contrast images so titles and text remain easy to read.

  • Keep alt text short and descriptive (for example, “Solar system illustration” or “Fractions on a number line”).

  • If you change the name or focus of a Workspace, update the cover image at the same time so everything stays consistent for students.
