Hi Henri, > If you are teaching them about writing alt text, using a suboptimal > tool to find the missing alt instances is OK.

I assure you, they are introduced to an array of tools: http://www.d.umn.edu/itss/support/Training/Online/webdesign/tools.html > However, teaching that making a page validate makes it accessible is > not true. Completely agree with you. It is a *first step* in good authoring practice. Best regards, Laura
