3 How do you get started?

From a technical point of view there are only three formats of mathematical text which are accessible:

  • HTML using MathJax to render the mathematics
  • Word
  • EPub3

Whatever other formats you supply you must supply at least one or, ideally, all of these (some technology can only access one format, EPub3 has least software support).

  • Supply your course content ‘spine’ in this format.

But you also need to supply PDF!

  • Not all accessibility is about technical access - for some a clear or large print PDF is best
  • Clear print is selected most often by disabled students in the Department of Mathematical Sciences.
