How can I add an alt tag to an image?

I want to ensure that my images are accessible for all my students and those who use a screen reader. How do I do this?

  • Hi Emily! When you upload your image from your computer using the editor, Brightspace will prompt you to fill in an alt tag in a box called 'Alternative Text'. I have attached an image for your convenience. You can select 'decorative' if the image is not a teaching image. A teaching image would contain information that sighted learners acquire by viewing the image.
