Congratulations! 

You completed the Images and Non-Textual Content Module! Here are some summary points:

• Always provide a description through the Alternative Text tool when it is available.
• Use the "Description" field of the Alternative Text tool, and avoid using the "Title" field.
• Back-up alternate text descriptions with descriptions of non-textual content within the main text.
• Ensure descriptions effectively describe the image in a way that is appropriate for the context.
• Avoid Text Frames/Boxes, SmartArt, WordArt, Shapes, Symbols, and Emojis unless you can provide a textual equivalent in the primary text.

 

• Explain the importance of alt text?
• Apply alt text in Microsoft Word?
• Demonstrate how to reconstruct/construct descriptive alt text based on context?

Before you continue to the next module, make sure you answer the questions above! If you need additional support on any of the bullet points above revisit this module.
