A workshop exercise we do is to provide a two sets of images A & B to 2
groups and get them to write alt text for each image. Then we get them to
pair up and read the alt text and describe the image from the alt text to
the author and ultimately to view the images. Very revealing and a great way
to show that writing good alt text is much harder than it seems.
