Hi there, my name is Shawn Jordison, and today we're going[br]to talk about applying alternate text images within Canvas.

0:00:13.170,0:00:19.170
When applying alternate text to a Canvas page, it's[br]important for us to be accurate and equivalent in presenting

0:00:19.170,0:00:28.260
the same content and function of the image. We want to be[br]succinct. This means the correct content if there is content

0:00:28.260,0:00:36.600
and function, if there's a function of the image should be[br]represented as succinctly Do not be redundant or provide the

0:00:36.600,0:00:45.510
same information as text within the content of the image.[br]And finally, do not use phrases image of or graphic of to

0:00:45.510,0:00:54.060
describe the image on our page, we can see an example of an[br]image that I would like for you to think of some alternate

0:00:54.060,0:01:02.220
text. Now, I've provided a sample underneath the image which[br]includes Michael Jackson performance, and that could be used

0:01:02.220,0:01:09.000
as the ultimate text. But I would like to challenge you to[br]see if you can think of more appropriate alternate text for

0:01:09.000,0:01:14.700
this image. So go ahead and take a moment and see if you can[br]come up with better alternate text for this image.

0:01:22.349,0:01:29.549
The alternate text for this image could be a 1980s[br]performance of Michael Jackson in Chicago, Illinois,

0:01:29.579,0:01:36.239
performing the number one single rock with you at a sold out[br]venue. Michael is wearing his unique red and sparkly jacket

0:01:36.359,0:01:43.139
with white shoulders as he clutches his fist into the air.[br]To add alternate text to this image within Canvas, the first

0:01:43.139,0:01:53.369
need to select the Edit Page button. Next, I'm going to copy[br]the alternate text that I already wrote. I will then select

0:01:53.369,0:02:05.009
the image. Then select the embed Image button. The alternate[br]text on this image is MJ dot png. This will cause the

0:02:05.009,0:02:13.889
Accessibility Checker to not marked this area as a fail.[br]Because it does have alternate text in there. It just

0:02:13.889,0:02:22.919
happens to be wrong. So we are going to replace this[br]alternate text with what we wrote and select Update. If we

0:02:22.919,0:02:31.109
wanted to edit the alternate text, we will follow the same[br]process. Select the image, select embedded image and we can

0:02:31.109,0:02:39.419
see the current alternate text. And finally, if we wanted to[br]mark this image as decorative, we would mark this checkbox.

0:02:39.719,0:02:44.489
You just learned how to apply alternate text to images[br]within Canvas. Thank you for watching.
