However, passing automated accessibility checks rarely ensures complete accessibility of PDFs, especially a document containing math. Best practice would be to create a Word document and export it to PDF, retaining the Word document as a template for future changes and exports. You could also distribute the Word document to those who need it, or best practice would be to distribute both formats to students, allowing them the choice based on preference or need.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><a id=\"onenote\"><\/a>OneNote Math Tools<\/h2>\n<p>Microsoft <a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/topic\/create-math-equations-using-ink-or-text-with-math-assistant-in-onenote-dc818fad-60e0-432d-8cae-b61f9febf874\">OneNote can also create and read math content.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To create math in OneNote:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open a new notebook.<\/li>\n<li>Navigate to\u00a0<strong>Draw<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Use the <b>Pen <\/b>tool to write math.<\/li>\n<li>Use\u00a0<strong>Lasso Select<\/strong> to drag around your math.<\/li>\n<li>Select\u00a0<strong>Math Assistant.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>In the sidebar, choose\u00a0<strong>Fix it<\/strong> to amend any mistakes and then select\u00a0<strong>Ink to Math.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Your math will be pasted as text in your notebook.<\/li>\n<li>Select\u00a0<strong>View &gt; Immersive Reader<\/strong> to hear your math read aloud.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Math generated in OneNote can be copied as MathML for use on webpages or in Word documents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1655,"menu_order":5,"template":"","meta":{"pb_show_title":"on","pb_short_title":"","pb_subtitle":"","pb_authors":[],"pb_section_license":""},"chapter-type":[],"contributor":[],"license":[],"class_list":["post-3864","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"part":3853,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/accessibilityhandbook\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/3864","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/accessibilityhandbook\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/accessibilityhandbook\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/accessibilityhandbook\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1655"}],"version-history":[{"count":25,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/accessibilityhandbook\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/3864\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9579,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/accessibilityhandbook\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/3864\/revisions\/9579"}],"part":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/accessibilityhandbook\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/parts\/3853"}],"metadata":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/accessibilityhandbook\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/3864\/metadata\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/accessibilityhandbook\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3864"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"chapter-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/accessibilityhandbook\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapter-type?post=3864"},{"taxonomy":"contributor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/accessibilityhandbook\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/contributor?post=3864"},{"taxonomy":"license","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/accessibilityhandbook\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/license?post=3864"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
