Alt Text in Rise courses
May 29, 2019
Can you hide alt text in Rise courses? I have added alt text to my courses and I was expecting the alt text to hide in the exported course. But I can see the alt text just under the image. I understand you can add "" to the alt text and skip it from screen readers. I want the screen readers to read the alt text. However, I`d like to hide it from the front end if possible. So learners who can see the image don't have to read the alt text too.

If you see text under the image then it was added as a CAPTION.
ALT TEXT is added as shown in the attached image: Edit / Edit / Edit ALT TAG.
Hi, Ramesh! Karl's correct. If you're seeing text underneath your image, you've likely added a caption instead of an Alt tag. Here's a handy guide on how to add and edit Alt tags.
If you're seeing different behavior, I'd recommend reaching out to our Support Team here so that they can take a closer look.
Thanks for sharing this tip. Even i was struck with a similar situation, and I was able to use this tip to resolve this issue.
@Anthony, the link provides no active sit.
Hi, Diane! Both of Anthony's links work for me. Let me know which one is giving you trouble, and maybe include a screenshot of what you're seeing. We'll be happy to help!
