Alternative text (alt text) ensures images, charts, and graphics are accessible to students using screen readers. Effective alt text is concise, descriptive, and communicates the image’s purpose. Decorative images should be marked as decorative. Adding alt text supports ADA Title II, WCAG 2.1 AA (1.1.1, 1.3.1), accessibility standards for public institutions. Building this habit ensures all people can fully engage with content.
