Lisa,

In a demo I have seen alt text implemented. I would need access to a working version to help you further, but it seems it is a possibility.

Tom, thanks for the info. I had already found the Lectora accessibility fact sheet, and I do realize that the person developing the Web resource plays a large role. My question was kind of two-pronged: What do people think of the HTML that Lectora outputs (my understanding at this point is that it doesn't conform to Web standards)? And, could anyone who's used the tool share what their experience with implementing accessibility features has been? In my experience thus far, for example, although the Lectora fact sheet indicates that the criteria for adding alt text to images is "fully met" and is "course developer controlled," I don't see any way to add alt text.

Thanks again,

Lisa
