Making Your Own Accessible STEM Notes
The SMSN is offering a workshop on how to write notes in RMarkdown.
The workshop is intended for educators who currently use LaTeX to write their lecture material are interested in learning an alternative markup language to be able to write accessible notes.
The aim of the workshop is for participants to make their first document in RMarkdown, which they can then use as a template to write future teaching material.
It is expected that you bring your own laptop to the event.
