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.
I will concur with the need. I have been watching this thread for some time with hopes of an update on this.
While things like sup/subscripts and Greek characters help, the reality is that until LaTeX is supported, Rise will never truly be ready for STEM courses. I have two 36 week courses in Chemistry and Physics that I would like to build in here, but that is not going to be realistic or accessible until LaTex is natively supported. An equation editor can be built on top of LaTeX. But LaTeX compatibility, itself, will be necessary before STEM courses can take Rise seriously.
I know that Rise is a new product, and we LOVE where it has gone so far. I just wanted to add my two cents about how equation editing is crucially important if Rise is going to be taken seriously by the sciences and technical fields.
