Make the actual information and conditions available.
Review meaningful image alternatives, functional labels, explicit creator permissions, accessible choices and trial terms. Counts are educational practice only.
Six original scenarios each contribute one match to the authored key. The count describes these supplied facts, local rules and educational concepts, not your actual conduct, character or a certified digital-citizenship level. Every explanation and this full guide is free at every count.
A text alternative depends on purpose
A poster may look attractive while withholding its actual opening times from anyone who cannot see its image. In that context, describing it as a nice poster omits the information the notice exists to convey. Provide the essential times in accessible text and choose an image alternative that fits the surrounding content. If the same complete information is already available nearby, the appropriate treatment can differ. The WAI decision tree is contextual; the practice does not say that every image needs a long visible description.
Decorative content can use an empty alternative
A swirl that adds no information or action beside an already complete heading is different from an informative diagram. For that purely decorative HTML image, the WAI decision tree recommends an empty alt attribute while the real heading remains available. Repeating the heading inside a long alternative would add redundant output. This choice depends on the stated role: if the image carried the only essential text or supplied a button’s function, an empty alternative would no longer address the same situation.
A functional image should communicate the action
An image that is the sole content of a download link needs an alternative that explains the link’s destination or action. A fresh example is a picture button that opens a timetable: its meaningful label concerns opening the timetable, not whether the icon is round or blue. Use the purpose given in the prompt and do not invent a different action. This guide illustrates one authoring decision; it does not assess every requirement of a real accessible interface or certify a page against a complete standard.
Follow the permission actually supplied
The drawing example permits a specific unchanged repost with credit. Both conditions belong to that permission. Public visibility does not remove them, and a licence for one work does not automatically cover another. A new fictional exercise might permit cropping but require a particular credit line; compare the proposed use with those exact conditions. Real licences and legal exceptions require their own accurate reading. This practice does not give a universal copyright answer, decide fair use or authorise reposting any real material.
Participants need distinguishable choices and usable controls
If the choices in a poll exist only as unlabelled images, someone using text-reading assistance may not know what each control means. Providing meaningful accessible labels for the actual options addresses the stated barrier. Brighter pictures or the same label on every option do not supply the missing distinctions. Check the information needed to participate rather than assuming the participant is uninterested. This one change does not establish that the complete voting process is accessible, private or fair; those are broader questions outside the six items.
Read the particular offer before committing
The fictional trial includes a later recurring cost and points to unread renewal and cancellation conditions. The supported next information need concerns those particular terms. Button colour does not resolve the cost, and a belief that all trials are free or universally refundable supplies no evidence. The exercise asks for recognition of the missing information, not a purchase or acceptance of an agreement. Its invented credits are not a live price. Real consumer decisions require the applicable current offer and relevant rules, without assuming this example settles them.
Use the count to revisit a concrete access condition
The six scenarios cover essential text, decorative and functional images, an explicit creator permission, distinguishable options and an unread offer. Author review checks those supplied conditions and the cited educational context; it is not independent legal, accessibility or consumer certification. A high count does not establish real-world compliance or citizenship quality, and a missed one does not diagnose a moral deficit. For practice, change the role of one image or a clause of the fictional permission and explain which answer would change, keeping the original and revised conditions visible.
