Math equations in RISE
Hello everyone, 🎉
I’m happy to let you know we released a new update for Rise 360. This update adds the following feature:
- Build math equations using LaTeX syntax and revise them by adding color and alt text.
There’s nothing to install for web apps. New features and fixes are immediately available, though you might need to publish your Rise 360 course again.
Let me know if you have any questions about this update or the new feature.
Please add an equation editor!! This thread has been ongoing for 3 years
Hi Neil,
You can use an Embed block (Multimedia > Embed) to insert a Math equation from a third-party source.
In the below screenshot, I used Google Docs' Equation editor to create the function and use the Share functionality from Google to grab the link. I then inserted this link in a simple <iframe> code using the following syntax:
<iframe src="link here"></iframe>
This works for Microsoft Word online. I haven't explored other third-party Math equation editors but as long as they have a share functionality, it should work.
This solution is viable for an isolated equation in a main block, but what if you want to have an equation appear in a process block, or an interactive figure?! What we need is an in-line equation editor that is available everywhere that text can appear. Perhaps an addition to the Quick Insert options would be a way forward? It wouldn't allow equations to appear on the same line as text, but it would certainly be an advance on what's (not) available at the moment!
