I'm not volunteering to describe them, just noting that we came upon this same issue in some on-line education where screen shots are used to "teach" someone how to use a software application. I decided that if the screen shot is only to teach someone sighted how to do something with a visual graphical user interface, then the screen shots do NOT need any long descriptions, for example: how to drag and drop an icon. HOWEVER, if an alternative accessible "view" is available, for example a text structure view of menus, and or a keyboard command way to drag and drop, then that description would need to be considered in the design of the course materials.
