MathML stands for 'Math Markup Language' which is the web standard for accessible online math and science notation/equations/formulas. Typically, a user does not create MathML, but instead uses a conversion process to MathML.

We recommend that as much of the online class as possible be conducted within Bb. All output from Bb’s equation editor is stored as MathML, which is screen reader-accessible.

MathType is an equation editor created by Design Science that is compatible with MS Word for Windows and Mac. Together, MS Word with MathType can be exported as MathML or it can be converted to braille. (Save your original files.) DO NOT use Microsoft’s equation editor.

Math IS NOT accessible in PDF. Save the original file with the original MathType or LaTeX equations. Disability Support Services will ask for your original files when there is an accommodation need.

For MS PowerPoint, use the MathType 6.9 plugin or later to create math and science equations, formulas and notations. DO NOT use Microsoft's equation editor. If you convert to a PDF or upload to Bb, save your original MS PowerPoint files which Disability Support Services may request.

To make graphs accessible, do your best to describe them using alternative text, long descriptions, or captions. Disability Support Services can supplement with tactile graphics if necessary.
