Write an Alternative for a Meaningful Image

Supplied materials

• Paper and pencil; answers may also be spoken or typed.
• All cases, labels, numbers and rules are supplied on this page. No real account, private information or purchase is needed.

Learn the idea

An image alternative should convey the image’s relevant information in context. A diagram needs its relationships explained; a decorative image may not need repeated description. The same image can serve different purposes on different pages. Our task supplies the purpose so the needed alternative is clear.

Describe the information the meaningful image contributes to this task. A filename or the words picture here do not explain a diagram’s content.

Use this supplied case: Map image explains the route A→B→C. Which alternative matches the stated content? Use the details in this example. Say which detail helped you choose. This pretend example does not tell us how every real system works.

1. Follow the worked example one step at a time. Say or draw what happens.
2. Describe the information the meaningful image contributes to this task.
3. Say which detail makes the example answer fit. Pick another answer and say why it does not fit.
4. Try the question and practice questions. Read the rule again if your answer does not match the explanation.

Take it further

A new meaningful chart records Group A=5 and Group B=8. Expected alternative: state both counts and that B exceeds A by 3. A filename alone does not communicate those results.
