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

2
00:00:13,170 --> 00:00:19,170
When applying alternate text to a Canvas page, it's
important for us to be accurate and equivalent in presenting

3
00:00:19,170 --> 00:00:28,260
the same content and function of the image. We want to be
succinct. This means the correct content if there is content

4
00:00:28,260 --> 00:00:36,600
and function, if there's a function of the image should be
represented as succinctly Do not be redundant or provide the

5
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:45,510
same information as text within the content of the image.
And finally, do not use phrases image of or graphic of to

6
00:00:45,510 --> 00:00:54,060
describe the image on our page, we can see an example of an
image that I would like for you to think of some alternate

7
00:00:54,060 --> 00:01:02,220
text. Now, I've provided a sample underneath the image which
includes Michael Jackson performance, and that could be used

8
00:01:02,220 --> 00:01:09,000
as the ultimate text. But I would like to challenge you to
see if you can think of more appropriate alternate text for

9
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,700
this image. So go ahead and take a moment and see if you can
come up with better alternate text for this image.

10
00:01:22,349 --> 00:01:29,549
The alternate text for this image could be a 1980s
performance of Michael Jackson in Chicago, Illinois,

11
00:01:29,579 --> 00:01:36,239
performing the number one single rock with you at a sold out
venue. Michael is wearing his unique red and sparkly jacket

12
00:01:36,359 --> 00:01:43,139
with white shoulders as he clutches his fist into the air.
To add alternate text to this image within Canvas, the first

13
00:01:43,139 --> 00:01:53,369
need to select the Edit Page button. Next, I'm going to copy
the alternate text that I already wrote. I will then select

14
00:01:53,369 --> 00:02:05,009
the image. Then select the embed Image button. The alternate
text on this image is MJ dot png. This will cause the

15
00:02:05,009 --> 00:02:13,889
Accessibility Checker to not marked this area as a fail.
Because it does have alternate text in there. It just

16
00:02:13,889 --> 00:02:22,919
happens to be wrong. So we are going to replace this
alternate text with what we wrote and select Update. If we

17
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:31,109
wanted to edit the alternate text, we will follow the same
process. Select the image, select embedded image and we can

18
00:02:31,109 --> 00:02:39,419
see the current alternate text. And finally, if we wanted to
mark this image as decorative, we would mark this checkbox.

19
00:02:39,719 --> 00:02:44,489
You just learned how to apply alternate text to images
within Canvas. Thank you for watching.
