A "simple" way to include Maths equations inline
Hi all,
I struggled with this for a few weeks now so thought I'd share my solution to adding equations in Rise that display inline and without the need for images, as I see from the discussions that many have the same issues I did. As someone with a degree in Maths and who works with a lot of Math topics, it was very important to me to get the equations to display correctly, or I would have needed to find another programme to create these courses in.
Here is an image of an example I created in Rise for a Maths Vectors and Calculus course:
The initial equations were created using the equation editor in Word. I then copied the equation and pasted as plain Unicode in the online converter: UnicodeMathML Playground (murrayiii.github.io) The unicode is then converted to inline equations in a separate block on the page and you simply copy the equation displayed straight into Rise! It does take longer than using an equation editor but until Articulate create that feature this is an excellent workaround!
Note: Fractions do not display well using plain Unicode so you may still need to use images when inserting fractional equations or expressions.
Hope this helps.
Same, the functionality is there to add an equation editor; Rise just needs to add it. Seems like there are tickets going back 8 plus years asking for math. Please add in the math equation.
Hello, I would like to have this feature as well. It's a bummer for math teachers like me to not able add even the simplest fractions.
Would greatly appreciate Rise to include strong support with math equations. Thank you!
Please add my vote for adding equation support
This would be helpful for me too please.
+1 for an equation editor in both Rise and Storyline.
Ditto. Please please add in the equation editor for Rise and Storyline.
+1 for math-editor in rise and storyline
At this point, given the accessibility and screen-reader needs of many students, "using images" (even with alt-text) is a ridiculous way for Articulate to require math, science, etc. to display in both Storyline and Rise. If Articulate doesn't catch up quickly on this much-requested and absolutely required feature, they're going to lose business from many educational institutions.
Thanks for sharing your work in the E-Learning Heroes Community, Natashia! I'm sure it will be helpful to folks who come across this post working on something similar.
Hope that you have a great afternoon!
