Open Educational Resources
Accessible Formulas in Pressbooks
For learners who are using screen readers or are blind or low vision, math and chemical equations can be very difficult to understand or visualize. Additionally, when using LaTeX or other equation formatting tools, some screen readers cannot read the equations at all. By taking a few extra steps, OER authors and editors can ensure all users have access and understanding of the content.

Finding and Using OERs
Replacing a paid textbook with an open resource is a small and easy way to make a big difference for students. Learn how to find and adopt an OER for your classroom.
