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

When applying alternate text to a Canvas page, it's
important for us to be accurate and equivalent in presenting

the same content and function of the image. We want to be
succinct. This means the correct content if there is content

and function, if there's a function of the image should be
represented as succinctly Do not be redundant or provide the

same information as text within the content of the image.
And finally, do not use phrases image of or graphic of to

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

text. Now, I've provided a sample underneath the image which
includes Michael Jackson performance, and that could be used

as the ultimate text. But I would like to challenge you to
see if you can think of more appropriate alternate text for

this image. So go ahead and take a moment and see if you can
come up with better alternate text for this image.

The alternate text for this image could be a 1980s
performance of Michael Jackson in Chicago, Illinois,

performing the number one single rock with you at a sold out
venue. Michael is wearing his unique red and sparkly jacket

with white shoulders as he clutches his fist into the air.
To add alternate text to this image within Canvas, the first

need to select the Edit Page button. Next, I'm going to copy
the alternate text that I already wrote. I will then select

the image. Then select the embed Image button. The alternate
text on this image is MJ dot png. This will cause the

Accessibility Checker to not marked this area as a fail.
Because it does have alternate text in there. It just

happens to be wrong. So we are going to replace this
alternate text with what we wrote and select Update. If we

wanted to edit the alternate text, we will follow the same
process. Select the image, select embedded image and we can

see the current alternate text. And finally, if we wanted to
mark this image as decorative, we would mark this checkbox.

You just learned how to apply alternate text to images
within Canvas. Thank you for watching.
