介绍 to 让表情包变得可访问

While memes are usually considered unessential and solely for humor, their use often builds connections within the learning community; therefore, those who cannot glean the full meaning often feel left out.

"One does not simply create memes about accessibility".
Boromir (played by Sean Bean) in Lord of the Rings with his hand making a circle with his middle finger and thumb touching. It’s a meme which states, “one does not simply create memes about accessibility”.

最基本的 Of 让表情包变得可访问

通用模因指南:

  1. 考虑一下这个模因的背景:
    1. Memes that rely heavily on knowledge of the source material can be inaccessible for anyone who is not familiar with the meme’s original source.
    2. These memes should almost always be removed due to the difficulty of making them accessible.
  2. 目前, the best way to make memes accessible is to describe them with Alt-Text, meaning memes will need to be fully explained in 150 characters or less.
  3. Alt-Text needs to explain both the text and the image to be accessible.
  4. 重复是最好的:
    1. Using the same base meme with different text is the best way for your students to access your memes.
    2. Using the most common base memes is another way to increase the accessibility of memes.

写作alt文本:

  1. Before trying to write Alt-Text for a meme, check the 常见的模因 section.
  2. 如果你的表情包不在那里, 或者不太常见, answer these questions when writing the Alt-Text:
    1. Who are the character(s) in these memes?
    2. What actions are the characters performing, if any?
    3. What emotions or facial expressions do the character(s) exhibit in these examples?
    4. Do you recognize the source of the image (TV show, movie, etc)? 如果有,是什么?
    5. Is there anything notable, or different about the background of the image?
  3. 最重要的是, 不要试图描述表情包, describe what the character/subject of the meme is saying and/or doing.
  4. When you have your description, copy and identify the text
    1. Overlaid text on top: [top text] Overlaid text on bottom: [bottom text]

A small selection of some commonly used memes

Memes can go viral quickly but also have usage fade very quickly, so using popular and relevant memes can be tricky. Another point to consider is if the meme contains a person, did that person give consent for their photograph to be used publicly? 出于这个原因, the examples below only contain one person who knew they were being photographed for a public campaign.
