15-Minute Fixes: Quick Tips to Improve Digital Accessibility (Alt Text)

Take 15 minutes out of your busy schedule this Thursday, Feb. 27, at 3:30 p.m., to learn more about how small practices can have a big impact in your courses. Each Zoom session will last 15 minutes, with an opportunity to stay after for questions and discussion. We will approach all of these topics with the understanding that digital accessibility is an issue of equity and inclusion, and while these practices are essential for some of our students, they are useful for all of them.

Thursday’s topic: Alt Text – Learn about best practices in writing alt text, including understanding appropriate use of figurative images.
