How to write meaningful descriptive text.
To create a better experience for users, write meaningful link text that indicates the link's destination and/or provides a description of the content being linked to.
i.e.: If you were to just see the link, would you know the web page it connects to?
For Example:
Accessibility Checklist by UW versus http://www.washington.edu/accessibility/checklist/.
Descriptive text for embedded videos

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFjMY9weYRA

The Evergreen State College celebrates the Class of 2017
