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,
If we're working with straight HTML pages, we attach a link to the LaTeX script inside the header tags and that picks up the code and renders it as a formula when the page loads.
When we're working with our LMS, the link to the LaTeX script is already integrated in the site so we just type in LaTeX code where we need it.
LaTeX knows when you're using it because you frame your code with '\(' and '\)'. Then most things are coded by putting them inside curly braces (i.e '{ }'). I've attached an image that I use to teach LaTeX to my colleagues that you may find useful.
LaTeX can be used in much more complicated ways (you can build entire documents with it), but this is how we use it to build formulas.
Hope that helps :)
Cheers,
Mich
