If your student is using Windows/Internet Explorer, I suggest that you start with the free (no charge, not open source) mathplayer plugin available here http://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathplayer/download.htm That has a right mouse menu option to read any mathml expression, but it can also integrate with screen readers etc (again it depends what software your student is using to read text) http://www.dessci.com/en/solutions/access/default.htm has some more information. If you have mathplayer specific questions probably best to ask them on design science's lists but don't hesitate to ask any more mathml questions here once you get started. the above is all about reading a web page with mathml in. Perhaps your question is more about how to produce such a page? that depends on what format your current online material is in (LaTeX, MSWord, ...? there are a multitude of converters and editors available, it all depends where you are starting from....)
