Math & STEM Content Made Digital in an eLearning World

Creating digital content is important. For starters, digital content is much more likely to be accessible than its paper based equivalent. Digital content can (usually) be enlarged, read aloud with text or screen readers, manipulated, copied, created with speech, and more. However, due to the complexity of math symbols, the plethora of worksheets in circulation, and the requirement for students to “show their work,” it has been difficult, if not impossible to create a digital equivalent. In this session, attendees will learn how to use technology with a feature rich UDL toolbar where users will be given the opportunity create math by way of using prediction, speech to math, a graph editor, and a screenshot reader which will enable users to hear the math aloud allowing users to further enhance their math vocabulary. I will also demonstrate how you scan a document with your mobile phone, and convert the math problems on it to digital & accessible math.
