19 Brightspace Math
Use the equation tool to embed math and science content in Brightspace pages.
- Graphical Equation offers an additional toolbar and palettes of symbols to generate equations and is best for beginners or casual users. The graphical editor is not keyboard accessible.
- LaTeX requires a specific skillset and knowledge base but may be worth learning if you are frequently using math as it can be used very quickly once you ‘speak’ the language.
- MathML is an XML language that is rarely typed by hand. Use a MathML generator (EquatIO can easily do this) and paste the output here. Select the Insert button to paste your equation into your Brightspace file.
- Chemistry Equation is similar to the Graphical Equation tool but includes specialized symbols for chemistry formulas.
