Images

·  If it is important to have images appear bigger, place them on a separate page and link to them from the thumbnail portraits embedded in the course content. Then, if students do not want to see a particular graphic or has already seen it, and would like to skip it, they can move on without wasting precious download time. Make sure that thumbnails are resized in a graphics program, and not in the LMS. The latter means the full size image is still being sent with the thumbnail.
·  If your web page has text describing a graphic image, place the graphic and text adjacent to one another: to the left, right or the center.
All graphic images in a web page should be saved with an ALT tag. This is usually available as an option in the dialogs where you load the image to your page. ALT allows a person who can’t see the image (a visually impaired person with a special browser to read the page to her/him, for instance) to know what the content is. Describe the image with this use. An ALT that says “Image” is useless. One that says “Image illustrating how the two sides of a right triangle, squared, equals the hypotensuse, squared” is more useful.
