[Blindmath] [Blind math] Creating graphs

[Madeleine Rothberg]

The current most up-to-date set of image description guidelines, including guidelines for graphs, is the Diagram Center's document. You can find it here:

http://diagramcenter.org/table-of-contents-2.html

This is the successor to NCAM's guidelines, expanded and improved with NCAM's participation.

    I think Dr. Godfrey references a resource for textually describing graphs in
    a 2015 publication. Considering the courses are online, descriptions might
    be a more appropriate way to go. If someone might be able to share the link
    to that resource, or an equivalent one in a response, (please), I at least
    would be very grateful. I did try accessing the resource when I first read
    the paper and found the website had been moved.

    Hello,
    
    I'm wondering if anyone has good resources or tips for creating accessible
    graphs for online courses. My office is currently working on plans to re-do
    or create three different Math courses that involve graphs, and this is
    something that is pretty new to me. Any advice would be much appreciated!
