typing math symbols and exponents in RISE quiz option?? How do you do this?
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.
Hi Ashley, yes I did notice that, and it is helpful.
For any course that teaches Math or relies on formulas (Chemistry, Physics, Accounting, Statistics, and so on), support for LATEX is critical.
MathJax makes this very very very easy with their existing JS library. All that is needed is for it to be included in the export by default. As well, as shown in my code, the Articulate development team needs to ensure that the MathJax processor is re-called when any content is dynamically written to the browser, which Rise seems to do a lot!
While we have a work around for the time being, support for accessible Mathematics seems like a simple functional addition to Rise, and will have a huge benefit to the overall accessibility of the product.
