[Athen] Options for EquatIO

[Susan Kelmer via athen-list]

Caution should still be taken with using Microsoft's built-in Equation Editor - it still does not give you accessible math.

MathPix is a paid alternative, and of course, creating MathType in Word is still one of the best options, although it is a manual process.

It is disappointing that TextHelp went this direction, but considering their "campus-wide pricing" structure, they still do not understand Higher Education's needs vs. how K-12 uses their products.  So out of touch, even after all these years.

Hi all

For those who may not yet know, text help has removed free teacher access to EquatIO as of June 30, 2024. I received this link from NOAT today for some additional math support for teachers. It's worth checking out and seeing what might be the most useful for your instructors or your work group. And don't forget about Microsoft Word's equation editor & math type.

For more info, check out this link to the options:
