Purpose

The purpose of this challenge is to generate a graphic, diagram, or chart for inclusion in your learning pathway by remixing existing image assets using the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format.

The value of this exercise is to:

• Produce editable images using an open file format (improves reuse potential, for example translation of diagram labels).
• Remix and reuse existing OER image assets.
• Use the SVG file format which facilitates resizing of images without loss of image quality.
• Produce image(s) for inclusion in your final assignment for this course.
