How can you ensure that images add to the context of the content?

Providing meaningful and descriptive alt text ensures that images enhance the context of the content by offering textual information that describes what the image portrays. This is particularly crucial for individuals who rely on screen readers due to visual impairments. Alt text helps convey the same meaning and context that the image presents to sighted users, allowing all users to access the same information and understand the content fully.

Descriptive alt text contributes to a more inclusive experience by ensuring that graphical content provides added value rather than just decoration. It should describe key visual elements and their relevance to the surrounding text, thereby enriching the user’s understanding and engagement with the material.

In contrast, the other approaches listed do not contribute to adding context. Decorative images lack informative value, leaving users without important context. Placing larger images in prominent areas does not guarantee that they are meaningful or relevant, while using images solely as background elements can lead to a loss of valuable information that could enhance understanding.
