No Sweat Alt Text
What is âalt textâ? Alt text is descriptive text linked to an image, graph, or other visual content that allows users to understand the visual without viewing it. Any image online should contain alt text, but guidelines differ depending on whether the image is simply decorative or related to other content on the page.
Updating Your Syllabus
Over time, you may want to make changes to the syllabus of a course. The syllabus documents are saved in the âFilesâ area (1) of the course. To preserve the integrity of the document, the Word document is located in the âInstructor Onlyâ folder (3) and the PDF is found in the âDocumentsâ folder (2) so it is visible to students.
Rubrics as a Tool to Support Equity and Inclusion
While student populations have become increasingly diverse, many groups, including first-generation, non-native English speakers, and individuals with disabilities, still face barriers and bias that can derail their success in college (Super et al., 2020). Traditional grading practicesâincluding penalties for late work, writing in dialects other than standard English, and even plagiarismâ are prone to bias and only perpetuate disparities, the research says (Feldman, 2019; Savini, 2021).
Infographic Considerations
An infographic is a visual that combines text, graphics, diagrams, and graphs to present information. When used effectively, infographics can be a powerful tool to guide students through the learning process. âInfographics ask for an active response from the viewer, raising the questions, âWhat am I seeing?â and âWhat does it mean?ââ (Krauss, 2012, p. 10). Infographics also present information in an organized way, which can improve studentsâ critical thinking, analysis, and synthesis skills (Yildirim, 2016).
