Lesson 2: Including alt text

Including Alt Text

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Let's Practice

Add an embedded image to a slide, and add appropriate alt text.

Use the checklist below to check your alt text: 

Be accurate and equivalent in presenting the same content and function as presented by the image.

The correct content and function of the image should be presented as succinctly as is appropriate. Typically no more than a few words are necessary, though rarely a short sentence or two may be appropriate.

Do NOT be redundant or provide the exact same information as text within the context of the image.

Do NOT use the phrases “image of …” or “graphic of …” to describe the image.
