If you plan to share your work beyond your classroom with an open license, then everything in your course, including the images in your textbook or slideshows, must be:

1. Content that you created yourself that has an open license applied;
2. Content that someone else created that has an open license on it (or is in the public domain).

There will be two more steps before your image is ready to share widely:

1. Add an attribution statement with the creator, title, link, and license information for the work;
2. Add alt text to the image metadata so that the image can be understood by screen reader users.
