Centralized Alt Text Manager with AI Suggestions for Rise 360

Description:

I'd love to see a centralized Alt Text Manager within Rise 360 where authors can view and edit the alt text for every image in a lesson or course from a single location.

Instead of opening each individual image block, the Alt Text Manager would provide an accessibility dashboard that streamlines authoring, SME review, and quality assurance.

Suggested functionality:

• Display every image in the lesson or course with a thumbnail preview.
• Show the current alt text or clearly indicate when alt text is missing.
• Allow authors to edit alt text directly from the dashboard.
• Identify decorative images separately from informative images.
• Include filters (e.g., Missing Alt Text, Decorative Images, AI Suggestions).
• Optionally provide AI-generated alt text suggestions that authors can review, edit, and accept.

Why this would help:

As instructional designers, we frequently collaborate with subject matter experts (SMEs) to review course content. SMEs are often the best people to describe the educational purpose of an image, but the current workflow requires them to open each image individually to review or edit its alt text.

A centralized Alt Text Manager would allow SMEs and instructional designers to:

• Review all image descriptions in one place.
• Quickly identify images that still need alt text.
• Ensure descriptions accurately reflect the instructional intent of the image.
• Perform accessibility reviews much more efficiently during QA.

AI-generated suggestions could further reduce authoring time by providing a strong starting point, while still allowing human review and editing to ensure descriptions are accurate and instructionally meaningful.

For courses with dozens or even hundreds of images, this feature would save significant time, improve collaboration between instructional designers and SMEs, and help authors produce more accessible courses with greater consistency.
