If you use images in any of your H5P content, you will need to add alternative (alt) text for accessibility reasons. Please see the guidelines below to aid in creating alt text.
- Image alt text should include any information the image portrays that is important to understand the function of the image.
- Keep alt text as simple as possible while still providing enough information for a user to navigate your content.
- If your image shows how to complete a step, please include directional alt text. This alt text includes information on where things are located that are shown in the image.
- You do not need to include the word image at the beginning of your alt text as a screen reader will already provide that information.
Example
The following flashcard uses an image of a Ferris wheel to ask the question, "What color scheme does this image of a Ferris wheel show?" Because the color of the image plays a vital role in completing the task, the alt text must include sufficient information about the colors.
The alt text should read similar to: White Ferris wheel with red, orange, yellow, and seafoam green carriages against a white/light blue sky
