[CTCAccess] Math in canvas

[Jess Thompson]

Hi Marissa,


Good question!


I *think* they are accessible. Here's a resource on math accessibility from Penn State<http://accessibility.psu.edu/software/canvas/canvasmath/> that says the equation editor writes math using LaTeX, which is accessible. But, it looks like they use Mathjax to ensure accessibility... so... maybe the Canvas equation editor gets it's halfway there.


Hm... let see if someone else chimes in and I'll forward it on to some math a11y experts I know. :)

Hello Accessibility champions!

I was talking with an instructor today about Math accessibility and she was wondering if the equation editor in Canvas produces accessible equations?



Thank you!

Marisa
