1. On a Canvas page, select the Edit button.
2. Highlight an image and select Image Options.
   
3. You can either, 
   • Update image file name to Alt Text (e.g., DaysoftheweekMonday.jpg -> Monday) and select Done.
   • Select Decorative Image if you would like the text reader to skip the image/image name and select Done.
4. When finished editing the page images, select Save.

Note: Ensure students don't use AT to acquire quiz answers. If you are using images in a quiz multiple-choice/matching question, you may want to rename the image to NOT be the image name. (e.g., Which image represents the olfactory organ? nose.jpg --> Image A)
