One of the most important advantages of OER is the possibility of creating resources in multiple formats - images being one of them.  Images can be used standalone, or in a sequence as an animation, or in combination with text to create picture stories for communication. With increasing use of ICT, creating, editing and remixing image resources is becoming more and more prevalent.  Availability of free and open source tools for creation and re-purposing of image resources can help the greater creation, re-purposing and publishing  of image and animation OERs

==== Inserting images in a text document (''LibreOffice Writer'') ====

One of the ways of making OER powerful and high quality is by suitably integrating multiple resource formats. Images can be embedded / inserted into a text document. The image and the related text enhance the value of the other in the document.

select Insert → Image. LibreOffice Writer will open the file browser. Use file browser to select the image file of your concept map. The image will be inserted in your text document as shown (image 13).

you can add images to a text document.  In the video, we have added text and image as well. It is also possible to provide links and references to an audio / video file in a text document to provide a multimedia experience to the reader.  There is an important difference between images and audio/video when integrating with a text document.  While an image is embedded within the text document, an audio or video file resides out of the text document in a file folder and is separately accessed to play. This is done by inserting a hyper-link to the audio file or video file in your computer, to the document. Clicking on this link will access the audio/ video and play it, using the audio/video player. While publishing on a web page, it is possible for different formats to be displayed on a single page.  We saw earlier that file links and hyper links can be added to a text document; we use the same approach to link an audio/ video.
