Alternative text (alt text) is an accessibility feature that makes non-text media like photos and other types of images accessible to people relying on screen readers (often low vision and blind individuals) and other users who cannot interact with images online. Although alt-text is crucial for the accessibility of the internet, research has shown that it is often missing or of questionable quality. Through primary and secondary research, this paper advocates a case for human-written alt text over AI-generated alt text, emphasizing the importance of conveying contextually relevant information that reflects the world in a more accurate manner. Furthermore, most educational resources about alt text are static articles requiring high effort to engage with and retain information. To help achieve widespread adoption of alt text, I developed includEd, an open-source digital learning tool to teach about alt text through a series of gamified exercises and a personalized learning journey aligned with the users' individual needs and interests. This work explores how more interactive learning materials could help improve people's knowledge of and confidence in writing alt text.
