Images

Requirements

  • All non-decorative images require alternative text. See Alternative Text for more information. 
  • Decorative images must be marked as decorative. 
  • Avoid images of text.
  • Do not include any art that is not from the textbook, including clip art. 
  • Use original art files whenever possible. 
  • Background slide images are not allowed. 

Important Info

  • If original art files are unavailable, screen-captured images may be used if the clarity is not degraded when zoomed in at 200%; this includes any text on images. 
  • Grouped or layered art images are NOT acceptable. Instead, a static composite should be created and inserted with the applicable alt text.
  • GIF files should be avoided because they may cause accessibility barriers. See Animation, for more information on GIF files. 

Tips

Insert an image using the ribbon:   Insert > Images > Picture. 

This will ensure screen readers announce the image as a picture.
