Graphics, photos, charts – visual representations play an important role in teaching/learning materials. In this Makerspace, we invite teachers to work together in small groups to create alt texts for images from their own teaching-learning materials after a brief input. Using the various examples, they will learn the basic rules for formulating alternative texts and how to meet the special challenges of different teaching and examination materials. All participants bring a graphic or an image for which you need an image description.
