Accessibility Bites: Image Descriptions
You often hear others talk about accessibility, but you’re not quite sure how to put it into practice (or maybe you just haven’t had a chance). These Accessibility Bites sessions are for you! Visit here: Accessibility Bites Series
Join your host Helena Prins and facilitator Josie Gray in Zoom for one or all of the five 30-minute sessions taking place on the last Thursday of every month except December.
Session 2: Image Descriptions
October 26, 2023 from 12:00 to 12:30 PM PT
This is a short drop-in session that will allow you to practice describing images. If you share images (whether that be through documents and publications, social media, digital interfaces, or presentations), this session is for you!
What to bring:
Any images you want to make accessible – preferably ones that you use in your work. (We will also have ones to practice on if you don’t have anything).
Schedule:
15 minutes – presentation on key things to keep in mind when describing images. This will include:
- Who image descriptions are for
- When and when not to describe an image
- What to describe and how to describe
- How context factors into image descriptions
- Examples of good/not so good image descriptions
10 minutes - Everyone works individually to describe their images. Your host and facilitator will be available for questions.
5 minutes - Everyone will come back together to reflect on how that went and to ask any additional questions.
