Hi, 
I think it also has to do with what works for you in terms of ease of use, not just accessibility. For instance, hearing a bunch of math equations using speech only wouldn't be the easiest thing for me, especially with complex math. I like to be able to easily get to all parts of an equation, and that's unfortunately not possible with speech, since you have to navigate line by line, word by word, character by character, etc. Maybe it will work with a braille display? I've been fortunate enough to have my math assignments in braille, because some online systems don't seem to work well with screen readers.

I can't really see how accessible the course will be because I won't have access to the online course until next semester. personally, I learn better when I have things in braille, specially math. I don't think braille is going to be an option next semester, specially because of the course format. I'm just looking for some suggestions, or what has worked for some of you in the past, as far as taking an online math course and doing algebra in the computer.
