Hello,

Many natural sciences' assignments require students to review structural components of things like parts of the body or parts of a cell.

Technically faculty can write descriptive alt text for the image, but the assessment is to select or label with the correct name of the structure. 

Has anyone found a reasonable way to make an assignment like this accessible? 

Thank you,

Rena Grossman


Example of assignment asking students to label parts of a neuron.
