Accessible equations

Dave Smith

Abstract


This opinion piece discusses accessibility difficulties that can occur when producing teaching materials with pdfLaTeX, especially for students using screen readers. Alternatives are discussed, with a particular focus on HTML+MathJax. As lecturers we should provide students with content in the most flexible form possible so that they are empowered to format the content in a way that is optimal for their needs.

Keywords
