Webinar: Getting Started with Accessible Math
From the National Center on Accessible Educational Materials
MathML is a markup language used to display equations and other mathematical expressions on the web and in other formats such as ePub and NIMAS. MathML is important for accessibility because it allows equations to be stored as structured text rather than images. Unlike images, structured text can be enlarged with good resolution for low-vision users who need magnification. Blind learners can use screen readers that support MathML to navigate and review the parts of mathematical expressions in the correct order, which is important for understanding complex mathematical expressions. However, writing MathML code is not for the faint of heart!
In this webinar, the National Center on Accessible Educational Materials will show you some ways you can write and use MathML code with little to no coding. They will also demonstrate a number of other math accessibility tools including Desmos, the DIAGRAM Center and more!
Tuesday, January 22, 2019 at 2:00 - 3:00 pm ET
Register online.
A recording will be posted by the National Center on Accessible Educational Materials about one week after the webinar. An announcement will be sent to let registered participants know when the recording is available.

Join us for the Quality Matters Virtual Conference
Sessions on student success & academic integrity
Every year thought leaders, administrators, teachers, instructional designers, and educators from all over gather to learn, connect and share with one another at the annual Quality Matters (QM) conference. In the spirit of continuous improvement, the conference helps those new to QM and those with years of experience connect on what matters most to the QM community -- quality online and hybrid learning for all learners.
In 2018, this conference will be held in St. Louis, Missouri, but the Instructional Technology team will host two virtual sessions on Wednesday, October 31, in ENGR 102:
On Quality AND Student Success: The Dream Team (Keynote)
The last 10 years have seen the rise of large-scale student success efforts focused on helping more and more diverse students finish what they start in higher education. In this presentation, we'll explore how quality online and blended learning - including competency-based options - have expanded access and success in higher education. Next, we'll dive into how the digital signal coming from these efforts has informed and improved student success work, especially advising and strategic-nudging outreach. Finally, we'll present strategies for leading efforts to connect quality and student success work with a special focus on fostering systems and cultures that significantly improve quality, student completion, and career success.
Academic Integrity in an Interconnected World (Panel)
Academic institutions seem to be facing an accelerating threat to integrity and, consequently, to the credibility of academic degrees (especially those earned online). Growing in both number and scope, these incidents include - but go well beyond - student cheating. For example, acquisition and sale of an institution's course material, such as assignments and exams, appears to be increasing through both the manipulation of students to share materials and cyber attacks. Panelists from some of the leading innovative online institutions will share their strategies, policies, and actions to ensure academic integrity.
Additional sessions are available on October 31st and November 1st. If you prefer to register on your own to view these sessions live or to access the recordings later, please
visit the Quality Matters website. You will need
a QM account to register. Space is limited to 500 virtual seats.
