I think this is slightly out of scope for this part. The content author modules are thought to be focus more on the writing part.

We may have references to some of the tasks that are mentioned in the Digital Transformation Agency resource, but this would be a secondary audience based on previous discussions.

Also, if we were to add the word "designers" here, we would create confusion given our existing "Designer Modules".

This is in the Designer Modules Form Design, under topic Labels and Instructions
https://www.w3.org/WAI/curricula/designer-modules/forms-design/#topic-labels-and-instructions
"design user experiences that consider position and appearance for labels and instructions"

I think if we add a similar thing here, that will overlap with the existing Designer Modules.

> Will 'decorative images' become a topic?

We have just discussed this in the TF meeting. We think there is not enough content for having a specific topic on decorative images for the content authors, but we will include guidance for instructors to teach how to:

- Determine when an image is informative/decorative based on whether the image info is described in the adjacent text
- Understand the difference between "no alt text" and "empty alt text"
