Digital Accessibility Tip: Alternative Text

What is Alternative Text?

Alternative text is a concise description of an image embedded within a webpage’s code. The description is read aloud to visually-impaired viewers using a screen reader. Its primary purpose is to provide context and meaning to users who cannot see the image. Alt text also provides a fallback in case the image fails to load and plays a role in search engine results.

Free Accessibility Courses for UIS Faculty & Staff

The digital accessibility requirements in Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (2024) are broad and impact digital files shared across campus. Given breadth of these requirements, accessibility will become part of our daily work. As we advance in our accessibility compliance efforts, it will be essential for those of us creating shared documents, recording videos, and managing websites to understand the guidelines for producing accessible content.

Welcome from Access & Equity

Dear UIS Family,

Welcome to the beginning of a new semester at UIS! 

It has been a pleasure meeting so many of our new UIS community members and seeing some familiar faces as we begin our Fall 2024 semester. I am reaching out today to share important reminders about your rights, updates to the Access and Equity Office, and information about required and optional trainings.
