Bulk Editing Dates
Creating Accessible Documents with Mathematical Notation
Conclusion
While using MathType to create MathML is a “giant leap” in accessibility, it does not satisfy all of the goals to create accessible math. A better way to deliver accessible math is through web pages as stated by W3C. https://www.w3.org/Math/.
The MSU “Enhancing the Accessibility of Mathematics and Symbolic Content” project is currently developing a tool to easily embed MathML in online XHTML documents and web pages. This is the ultimate and universal design way to experience math with many potential learning enhancements. http://www.msumathonline.com/.
