[Athen] Math Accessibility

[Weber-Hottleman, Kathryn]

Hello all,

We're currently exploring how to make math textbooks accessible, whether these textbooks come as PDFs, ePubs, or Word documents.  Does anyone have any experience with authoring accessible math content?  We're looking at MathML, MathType, LaTeX (which I've read is not the most accessible), and MathJax.  

We're also looking at the equation editor Blackboard uses.  Does anyone have any experience using this?  Or does anyone know how students have received Blackboard equations?

Best,
Kathryn
