<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Thanks for sharing. This is great info! A lot to digest here, but early on, one of the things that is intriguing to me is the ability of D2L to render math
problems in MathML. Could those equations then be copied out of the system and conceivably rendered as Braille? Quite interesting if so.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

has made significant strides in terms of accessibility in its most recent versions. Can anyone comment as to how these two compare from an accessibility standpoint?<o:p></o:p></p>
