Hi, Auston & all- At Indiana University we requested through our CSM to have MathJax updated and got a reply back that MathJax v3.x did not meet Instructure's requirements for internationalization (i18n). Instructure provided a rather ambitious list of languages that MathJax would need to support. ...

Hi, For creating accessible math in Word (or PowerPoint) documents, then I second Bill's suggestion for using the MS Word "insert equation" feature. The best documentation on that feature is here: Linear format equations using UnicodeMath and LaTeX in Word. One cannot create equations using MathJax, ...

The DAISY Consortium is putting a lot of effort into promoting the EPUB format these days as the best accessible option. They have a newer tool called the WordToEPUB plugin for Word, which info on it can be found here: https://daisy.org/activities/software/wordtoepub/ To go with EPUBs, they recommend ...

Hi, Try the Edge Web browser (it's available on MacOS). The built-in Read Aloud features work well and since they are built in, they can read iFramed LTI content (like New Quizzes) that many text-to-speech tools skip over. Plus, it's built in so you are teaching students how to use tools they could ...

We have a template for scoring VPAT's as well. I'd be interested in seeing what you are doing and sharing ours. Brian Richwine, CPACC UITS Senior Accessibility Strategist – Learning Technologies, Indiana University (812) 856-2757 [Direct Line] (812) 650-2897 [Cell] brichwin@iu.edu

Hi, Laura- It's pretty common for a language learner to use the uncontracted (letter by letter as they put it) version of the new language's braille code. It's quite a bit much to expect that a student learn both the spellings of a new language and the various contractions used in a new braille code ...

At our school we have been teaching faculty how to create LMS content using LaTeX for the mathematics. For example, entering LaTeX directly into a Canvas page. Our instructional design group worked with Faculty in the math and sciences to create a course in Canvas that teaches them how to use LaTeX and ...

The MathPlayer tool has not been recompiled since 2016. The author/developer of MathPlayer has created a new tool called MathCAT (Math Capable Assistive Technology) and has created a NVDA plug-in. MathCAT has greatly improved speech and braille rendering of math content. Also, soon on the roadmap will ...

In many places (pages, discussions, etc.) Canvas is using MathJax to render the math equations. NVDA works great with MathJax 3.x's default settings but unfortunately Instructure is still using the now quite old MathJax 2.7.7 (at least in our instance). One thing to try is to make sure "Assistive MathML" ...
