<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#002060">Hello Everyone,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#002060"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#002060">I’m working on a process for our math department to make their content accessible both in PDF files (some faculty have written their own textbooks) and in Canvas, including new Canvas quizzes. The instructor
I’m working with has written all of his content in LaTex. I have several questions about where to take it from there.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#002060"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#002060">What is the status of screen reader compatibility with LaTex, MathML, MathJax, etc? Do they need to be converting to MathML? Should we be recommending browser / screen reader combinations that work better for
math? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#002060"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#002060">Also, regarding the PDFs, will MathML generated by MathType still be accessible once converted to PDF?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#002060"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#002060">This is not for alternative format production, but for faculty-produced content, so needs to be as streamlined as possible. Does anyone already have a good process in place for this?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
