Make Math Equations Accessible

Hello! I am using the flashcard grid to display formulas. I am using the math equation feature to insert my math equation. My dilemma is that the couple formulas I've included look good on the screen...

    Hi SarahLichy,

    Thanks for following up and sharing more about what you’re trying to do! You’re right, inserting math equations as images can make it tricky to control readability and size in Rise 360.

    For now, one option is to create the equations in a program like PowerPoint or Google Slides, where you can control the size and formatting, then export those equations as high-resolution PNGs before uploading them to Rise. This tends to keep them crisp and more legible.

    I can definitely see how better control over equation display would help. Thanks again for sharing your experience. It’s really helpful as we continue improving Rise 360 for technical content.

Hi SarahLichy,

I really appreciate you bringing this up! Right now, the math equation feature doesn’t allow for resizing or adjusting how equations display in the flashcard grid, which can definitely make formulas harder to read.

I can see how having more control over equation size and readability would make a big difference, especially for accessibility. I’ve shared your request with our product team so they can consider ways to improve how math equations render in flashcards and other lesson types.

Thanks for taking the time to highlight this need, it’s really helpful feedback.

    Thanks! I've also tried to do math equations in a word doc, but inserting doesn't work, I have to do as an image and then I have the same problem with readability and size. Any suggestions on how to properly show math equations in courses? I am working on a technical module and I need to show calculations, just not sure the proper way to do so! 😑
