In this paper we propose an alternative method for the online synchronous resolution of math related exercises. It involves typing, rather than hand-writing, of the related text and equations. In order to be able to type the equations in real time, a specialized software, an “equation editor”, is needed. Mathematical equations have typographical characteristics that are different from normal text, and “equation editors” help to smoothly type them by providing a set of keyboard shortcuts. There already exist both proprietary and Open Source “equations editors” that provide these functionalities.
