RE: [wbs] response to '[Curricula] Review of changes before Butterfly Approval'

Hey Laura,

Happy new year, and sorry for the late response.

> I recently read: https://thoughtbot.com/blog/alt-vs-figcaption.  The article enlightened me on the use of alt and figcaption together.  As well as why it's a bad idea to have an empty alt within figure/figcaption.  I wonder if we should cover this also.

This is good point.

My main take away from this article is that use of figcaption does not exclude use of alt for individual images if needed. So, I have added a reference to alt and individual images in the learning outcomes for complex images in module 3.

[[
HTML elements `figure` and `figcaption` (and HTML attribute `alt` when individual images require specific descriptions)
]]

Would this work for you?

Many thanks.

Best.
