Hi Ken, I think Charles as said it all already. He just skipped MathPlayer from DesignScience. It's a pluggin for IE with TTS capabilities too (in version 2.0). About the basic introduction, well I like the 1st book on MathML: The MathML Handbook, Pavi Sandhu, Charles River Media 2003. You have it all in there. It's nice to read and very complete.

We are just upgrading to Moodle (open source Learning Management System). I will tap into the community to find out more about this. To be entirely honest, I need to develop a better understanding of MathML and which web browsers best support it.
