Activity Details

When we have math equations or notations written in Microsoft Word, OneNote, or even scanned documents, simply copying and pasting them into an eLearn page often creates accessibility issues. AI tools can help convert these materials into formats that screen readers can interpret. Here’s the process: • Copy or take a snapshot of the material containing the equations or notations. • Paste it into an AI tool such as ChatGPT, Copilot, or Gemini and request: “Please convert the entire material into HTML code.” • Copy the HTML code generated by the AI. • In eLearn, open the Source Code view of your announcement or content page. • Paste the code between the

and

tags. • Save your announcement or content page. If you only need to convert individual equations or symbols, you can also ask the AI for the LaTeX code and paste it directly into the eLearn LaTeX Equation Editor. This produces clean, accessible math expressions without relying on images.
