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.
Plus one for us as well, this is needed for accessibility needs as soon as possible! Any update?
It's been 6 years...no progress
Seven years later, and we're still the same. Is it really that hard to implement this functionality?"
This whole math equation editor is a real bummer. I see tons of requests over the last 5 plus years and no movement.
Interesting note on this feature, the text editor that Rise uses is called Froala, it has a 3rd party plugin with this functionality. Some info here https://froala.com/wysiwyg-editor/examples/wiris/
This makes me think the functionality already exists but might be a matter of licensing it.And 2 days ago the TinyMCE editor also added this functionality, looks more of a native integration. https://www.tiny.cloud/tinymce/features/math-equations/
WE REALLY NEED A MATH EQUATION EDITOR. Please and Thank You.
Any news on the addition of math equation feature?
Hello Carrie,
I have no updates to share yet, but we'll update this discussion once the Math equation feature is available, and you will be among the first to know!
Adding the same request: We'd love a math equation editor feature in Rise!
Hi Alexa!
Thanks for sharing the feedback on the type of functionality you'd like to see in Rise 360!
I've included you in the feature report and will update this discussion if it makes it onto our Feature Roadmap.
Have a great week!
I was able to get equations in my Rise course by using inline images, here I show you how to screenshot results from MathJax. The html used in the screen recording:
<img style="display:inline-block;height: 2.8em;vertical-align: middle;" src="replacewithdata">
and url for converting image to inline data-
Nice one, I was doing something similar by uploading the image as a file then using the url from that. But uri is better as it still works when a course is copied over.
Right on, if you insert a url (even a rise/articulate url) it creates an external dependency on that file (which could become blocked by a strict LMS, or the file could disappear eventually). This ensures it becomes part of the export.
With Articulate's seeming commitment to accessibility, it's stunning to me that in 2023 there's still no viable math equation tool in Rise. This thread has been active for literally years.
Accessible math is legally required by U.S. federal guidelines for public/state institutions, so it's imperative for Articulate to resolve this ASAP.
