Math Editor
We recognize that math is hard for many students, and the transition to
online learning environments has actually made it even more cumbersome for
students with disabilities. Benetech’s new math editor is exploring ways to
push the limits of how students and educators interact with digital math
problems through improved online tools to solve problems, share solutions,
ask questions, and learn by doing. Our goal is to provide an accessible math
editor tool that serves many types of learner needs and preferences,
equipping learners with easier ways to show and track their work.

Bookshare - An Accessible Online Library for people with print disabilities
Bookshare is the world’s largest library of ebooks for people that read
differently. Our collection has over half a million titles and empowers
hundreds of thousands of students and people who cannot read traditional
books due to disabilities like blindness, iow vision, and dyslexia. There is
a worldwide book famine for people who have disabilities that impacts not
only reading, but also their opportunities to succeed. As part of our global
Bookshare work we are unlocking learning for them by providing accessible
books in vernacular languages. For example, you can experience how Harry
Potter and the Chamber of Secrets can be read in English, Spanish, and Hindi,
in ways that work for everyone.
