How is the image placed on the CMS, by a developer on the back-end, or uploaded by a user on the front-end?


We're using blackboard CMS to host online courses and found a non-technical challenge with alt-text for images. Many course activities ask students to upload an image to a discussion board or wikki, but the image will not have alt-text unless the students add it when uploading the image. The students don't know to do this unless we ask them.
