Accessibility Spotlight: Alternative Text for Visual Content
Alternative text, or “alt text,” is a short, written description of an image or graphic that allows people who use screen readers to understand the purpose and content of images.Headings and structured page elements provide a clear outline of your content. When used correctly in Word, Brightspace, or on the web, they allow users of assistive technologies to navigate a document the same way a reader may visually scan bolded titles or bullet points.
