Math equations in RISE
What are your recommendations for creating accessible math equations in RISE content? We need these to be accessible to students using screenreaders. Can we input MathJax/ML etc into RISE? Or is the only option to add each equation as an image with alt text description or maybe create a Word document with these equations, both of which are very time consuming. Please advise as we'd like to continue building in RISE, but need to ensure that these are accessible for users.
An equation editor would be amazing!
This feature is necessary and we often go to other tools for any courses with even basic math.
The lack of math equation implementation in Rise 360 is, literally, the ONLY reason I won't subscribe to articulate 360. To display equations as images is very limiting and takes away the responsive nature of Rise courses. I'm begging you to let me give you my money by implementing this feature.
Please add math editing tools!
Hi,
As a RISE360 user in our School, i need too the maths editor feature...
I'm curious to know if someone succeeded in getting maths into element of RISE360 that don't accept images, like sorting activity ????
Yes! We need this too!!
What are the workarounds people are using while we wait?
I'm sorry I don't have any updates for you, Rachel! We'll let you know if we get new information that would be helpful.
Has anyone tried to modify the scorm output of a rise course to add the following snipped provided by mathjax (https://www.mathjax.org/#gettingstarted) ?
I'm looking at the structure of the file but I have no idea where to paste this. I understand it's better to not modify these files but this seems like a solution that could work while Articulate is working on a proper solution.

Hi Aprana,
We want to give you the best information we can about upcoming features so that you can plan ahead for your projects. While a math equation editor is on our Rise 360 roadmap, it's not one that would be ready by the end of this year.
Of course, we'll keep you updated if we get a better ETA for this feature.
Have there been any updates on when an equation editor might be ready? We can only think of a workaround using images, but obviously this doesn't comply with accessibility guidelines. UK universities will need an accessible solution by 23 September 2020: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/online-accessibility-regulations-campaign-supporter-pack/gds-accessibility-regulations-campaign-information-for-education
