you some. If this works, let me know and I’ll put together a selection for you.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">Hopefully an OER textbook for basic Math, pre-algebra, and algebra perhaps.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">My goal is to ensure I understand both how the Humanware devices that support math, and the JAWS support for math work.
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">I am field-testing one device and I own another one. Plus I use JAWS with several Braille displays.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">The Math that’s supported is Math-ML and equations entered in the Word equation editor, so the format of the documents could be either Word or HTML. Images of formulas or equations are not going to cut it!<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">Right now, I have no blind students who use Braille that are taking any math. and those using JAWS are not taking math either right now.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">But eventually my Braille readers will be taking some sort of freshman math and so will my JAWS users.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">And I want to be ahead of things so I can show the students and their instructors how all this works.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">I’ve listened to a few webinars, but I don’t actually have more than a few simple examples, and what I really need is a textbook so I can try working through some exercises and be able to demo this stuff.
Getting Nemeth in textbooks is pretty easy, but I’m looking for textbooks that the devices or JAWS can work with, because ideally I want instructors producing accessible exams. And of course not all my blind students can read Braille.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">I wish someone would get a grant to produce a fully accessible remedial math online course that will allow my blind students to easily qualify for either higher math or give them enough math they can get a
non-STEM degree. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">Thoughts? Availability of accessible textbooks?<u></u><u></u></span></p>
