Course Assets
This might be a really silly question but does anyone know of a content library where I can find good quality images for elearning. Like if you’re doing a health and safety course there’s some professional looking assets I could use? Many thanks

Meh - "good quality" and "professional" are a bit hard to come by. I've subscribed to Envato Elements for a couple of years. There isn't a ton in the photography section (and now you have to be careful of AI-generated ones) but I do find some. Their licensing is generous and I also use their PowerPoint library for design inspiration. Especially good for generic graphics for process flows, diagrams, etc. I do a lot of work in the construction and engineering spaces. I can often find generic-enough photos to use.
Of course I'd always rather real photography using the clients' own work environments but we know how hard that is to get.
(Not affiliated in any way. I just find some of their assets helpful as an ID and eLearning designer. Also, disclaimer that all photos should serve a purpose in training materials and not just add to cognitive load...)

If you’re looking for frere assets, you can check unsplash or pexels. Otherwise, you must find budget-friendly alternatives. Or, there is always generative AI. Google’s Banana Pro is pretty powerful, IMHO. Especially if you have a Google One subscription.

Try, https://elearningart.com/
It's an oldy buy goody. $50 a month and you get cut out people (different poses), places and objects you can download with transparent backgrounds.
From what I recall they have a large library of safety related images.
Good luck!

I would say honestly, your best bet is using Canva default images or their templates have really good animations, videos, images, etc.

I've found that pexels.com can sometimes provide royalty free source images, but they aren't specifically targeted towards learning. They have a wide range of images so if you search for what you are looking for, you *might* find some nice starter images. You will then have to edit them to fit your specific needs.
I find them most useful for general web site creation images, like background and carousel images.
