<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">For complex images like charts and graphs, the
<a href="https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/images/complex/">W3C recommend writing long descriptions.</a>
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">I’m interested to learn how you deal with long image descriptions in course materials, for example in PowerPoint and Word documents that are uploaded to a Learning Management System like Blackboard / Canvas
/ Moodle etc. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">For example, if you write long descriptions do you use the alt text box, or do you add it to speaker notes or a hidden slide (in PowerPoint), or an appendix or supplementary document?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Does anyone have any examples to share of course content that includes long descriptions of complex images?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><a href="https://matthewdeeprose.github.io/alt-text-images-charts-graphs">I researched and delivered a presentation on this topic recently</a>, it uses a number of worked examples on how to write long descriptions,
I’m really interested to learn some practical examples of how others are placing long descriptions within course materials.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
