EquatIO
CSUN has a new tool, EquatIO, to help you make you STEM content accessible.
What is EquatIO?

Why Are We Looking At EquatIO?
- All content needs to be accessible and STEM is included!
- Creating accessible STEM can be time-consuming and involve tools that can be overwhelming or not user-friendly
- If you’re already a MathML or LaTeX user, EquatIO has those options
- EquatIO provides tools across platforms and devices, so you can use your own tech
- CSUN STEM ‘content creators’ are responsible to ensure that their content is accessible
- The same way we look at videos, documents, and other media
