About the workshop
There is growing interest in creating HTML content for mathematics to help meet legal accessibility requirements and provide flexible display options. It also allows the integration of new functionality such as quizzes and interactive graphics which bring valuable pedagogical opportunities.
This hybrid workshop consists of demonstrations and hands-on sessions for software tools whichproduce mathematical content in HTML, chosen for their technological maturity, accessibility features, and level of adoption. These include BookML, Chirun, Desmos, Quarto and STACK. Participants will get supported hands-on time with the software and the opportunity to talk to others interested in improving digital provision for mathematics and its implementation across the higher education sector.
This is the third workshop in the IMA/LMS/RSS funded Higher Education Teaching and Learning Workshop Series for 2025/26.
